Patience with the unseen; love inĀ action
February is when I get impatient. Winter is still here, but I'm ready for spring. I want to dig my hands in the dirt, plants seeds, watch buds unfold into a bright green portrait of life. But the dirt is still frozen. The seeds are still folded up in packets. Swollen tree buds are still closed tightly around tender new leaves, protecting them from the cold.

Well, itās February folks, and that means itās time to explore LOVE. Not romantic love and the capitalist-driven celebration of Valentineās Day, filled with chocolates, hearts, and flowers, but love for one another as living beings on Earth. Love for self.

Democracy and Nature: A Call for WaterĀ Wisdom
A winter storm came, and I walked in the woods. The creek was frozen. Water stopped in its tracks, frozen in time. Ice had grabbed a hold, impeding the water's forward progression downstream to bigger creeks, rivers, and the ocean. Impeding its path to freedom. In Minneapolis, another kind of ICE stopped the forward progress of a life, two lives, grabbing a hold of citizens, immigrants, protestors, helpers.

A winter storm is coming. They are forecasting a big ice storm here - a storm that may cause more power outages and damage than any winter storm we've seen in decades - with record-setting cold for days to follow. So, Mr. EndlessSeeker and I have been preparing - insulating outdoor faucets, prepping the cars, getting gas and groceries, putting rock salt on the steps.

It snowed a little here yesterday, and I was so grateful for it. Snow is rare for us these days, but when I watch it floating down from the sky, my whole being settles into quiet centered-ness. The atmosphere is hushed and reverent. The flakes begin to stick and cover grasses, mulch, railings, turning everything brighter, including my mood. It's a welcome respite from the darkness that feels so present in the world today.

Embracing Grief: How Love Deepens OurĀ Care
Yesterday, after I published the post about Courage to Care, I had the opportunity to witness a beautifully courageous circle of people sharing their grief, expressing their love, and showing how deeply they care. It was a circle of memory for lost lives, of deepening connections through shared grief, and of celebration for love for those once discarded and left behind.

Last weekend, we took our Christmas tree outdoors and set it up in our bird feeding station. We then decorated it with orange and apple slices, Cheerio garlands, and pine cones covered with peanut butter and bird seed. We do this to give our tree a second purpose as winter cover and extra food for the songbirds in January and February when its typically colder out (though this week its in the 70s!).

Music Mondays: Listening during WinterāsĀ Quiet
I looked out my back windows yesterday morning, and saw gray. The yard was hidden by the porch floor. The pine tree tops were above the roof line. All I could see at eye level were leafless, gray tree limbs in the sleepy dawn, reaching skyward in silent stillness. It was a gentle reminder that winter is for rest, quiet, stillness; a time to listen and reflect.

Life is messy, for sure. And, at any given moment in someone's life, it feels as if the world is falling apart. You might get a phone call and find out that someone you know is sick, someone died, or someone is in a mental health crisis. Scroll social media and see anger, distrust, and uncivil discourse running rampant. Watch the daily news, and it confirms our worst fears.

As I walked through the garden in the cool morning air, this seed head of the Joe Pye weed lit from behind by the autumn sun caught my eye. I was drawn to the light, but noticed the beautiful, intricate pattern of seeds swirling around spent flower heads. If I moved my head just right, I could see all the details of seeds, how they connected at the base of the flower, supporting each other in their journey toward maturity and freedom.

The last day of September
It's raining. A slow, steady, light rain. A trailing edge of wetness brought to us by Tropical Storm Imelda, which is spinning off the Atlantic coastline, ready to be pulled eastward later today by the bigger, stronger Hurricane Humberto. We're in the middle of the most active part of hurricane season - that time of year when the tropics give birth to spinning rainmakers while cold fronts attempt to push further south.

The Power ofĀ Containers
This week, we have watched caterpillar after caterpillar crawl off their host plants and wrap themselves into chrysalises. Green and brown packages hung by threads of silk now dangle throughout the gardens. Tucked safely away in their self-made containers, they will change during the next few weeks through one of the most amazing phenomena of the natural world - metamorphosis. Within these containers of their own making, the caterpillars will literally dissolve and reform their bodies into butterflies.

We've seen some changes to our woods since the flooding from Tropical Storm Chantal in mid-July. The ground is bare where water sluiced down the hill in torrents, finding the paths of least resistance and creating waterfalls and rivulets through the leaves and soil. The creek bed, now much wider and deeper, feels stripped naked as exposed roots dangle from the edges of the banks.

When we are not down in our woods observing changes in the plants, listening to birds, or looking for newborn deer, critters who prefer to remain unseen come out to play. Our trail camera captured a couple of them this week. First, a barred owl seems to be munching on something on the ground... Then, a gray fox is seen carrying something in its mouth.

In the morning lightā¦
In the morning light, spring flowers bring A colorful sight, a feast on the wing. For the bugs and the bees, lured by nectar to sip They move pollen with ease, on their wild fleeting trip.

Momās Legacy: a birthdayĀ musing
Mom...1948 On May 24th, 99 years ago today, my mother was born. She passed away in 2019, just before the COVID pandemic swept across the world. If she was still alive today, she would be furious, appalled, and incredibly sad to see what is happening in our country, in our world. You see, my mom spent much of her career and most all of her life fighting the systemic and cultural discrimination that kept women and minorities from getting ahead, from realizing their American Dream, from being equal and valued and heard.

Adventure and Awe inĀ Utah
San Juan River canyon Every now and then Mr. EndlessSeeker and I manage to tear ourselves away from the comfort and familiarity of Pokeberry Pines to explore other corners of the world. Traveling to unfamiliar places helps us learn about other cultures and ecosystems as well as appreciate what we have at home. Recently, we took a ten-day trip to southern Utah to explore canyonlands and national parks far different from the humid, temperate climate where we live.
