There is a sacred moment between night and day when I can meditate in solitude while being present in the natural world. There is no human interference at that time, as most people are still sleeping. No one is up except for the early rising birds who can now sing without being diluted by the […]

I have been thinking a lot lately about how we talk about being kind. Or ethical. Or whatever word feels right to you when you are questioned about your activities that affect your fellow humans and the earth. And everyone makes it sound like it is a massive task and that it would not bring […]
