Healing through Hiking

Healing through Hiking

It’s been a long, cold spring. After what felt like a long, cold winter. (And I like winter!) I don’t know about you, but if you’re anything like me, life has felt really hard for quite some time now. It’s been a trying several months for many, in myriad ways…from burnout do to overwork to … Continue reading Healing through Hiking

The Scent of Wildness

The Scent of Wildness

It’s been really overcast and, honestly, kind of dreary and flat-looking outside lately. The cloud cover has been thick and the air heavy with spring humidity after two days of constant rain.  Mid morning I needed a break from work, so I headed to one of my favorite trails. Despite the uninspiring weather conditions, it … Continue reading The Scent of Wildness

How to Cultivate a Wild Child

How to Cultivate a Wild Child

Childhood.  That time of life that is full of growth, learning, questions and change.  A time that plays a part in defining our view of the world and what we hold as important.  A time of cultivation. A time that needs wildness. Most of my childhood was spent living just outside of a small college … Continue reading How to Cultivate a Wild Child

Embrace Your Wild In Four Simple Steps

Does multitasking ever threaten to splice your attention into little bits? When the pull to do 15 things at once comes calling, I try to remember to do four simple things.  When I can remember to do these four simple things, I can honestly say that I am present in my moments.  That I taste … Continue reading Embrace Your Wild In Four Simple Steps

A Tale of Three Otters

The lake ice was just barely holding on after a night of below freezing temperatures when I noticed my daughter, still in her PJs, transfixed on something out the back sliding door. I followed her gaze, and there they were– three slick brown creatures, slipping and sliding, jumping in and out of the water, scampering … Continue reading A Tale of Three Otters

Wild Air and Fading Starlight

Wild Air and Fading Starlight

One late autumn morning a few years ago, I woke up to the sun rising in the east into a pink haze of clouds over a lake of utter stillness.  The air was colder than usual, which wasn’t saying much that year, after a fall of above average temperatures.  But I could see my breath and … Continue reading Wild Air and Fading Starlight

5 Ways to Rewild Your Everyday

Work (whether it’s a paid position or not) takes up a lot of time for most people in modern culture. Leisure time is often relegated to the weekend (if it’s available at all), and evenings are often spent crashing out to one’s chosen streaming service (or catching up on work, especially for parents during pandemics).  … Continue reading 5 Ways to Rewild Your Everyday

Don’t Let the Robots Get You Down

Don’t Let the Robots Get You Down

inspired by Analog Sea There is an energy– it’s there in the ether on the ground running through the soil nestling deep in the bedrock settling with the sediment of lakes washing downstream via small tributaries into the massive veins of rivers that keep the earth alive. An energy untamed by technology refusing to be … Continue reading Don’t Let the Robots Get You Down

Wild Love for the World

Wild Love for the World

I wrote a post nearly 10 years ago, on the blog that eventually became the book Woodland Manitou: To Be on Earth that basically just listed a bunch of things I didn’t like about the world with a bunch of things I did like about the world. That particular entry didn’t make it into the … Continue reading Wild Love for the World

That Wild Family of Things

Evening is falling into the day like a silk scarf slips off a woman’s shoulders when she relaxes into a lover’s embrace.  The lake is dead calm, and the fully clothed trees admire their reflection, flaunting their leafy abundance a second time over.  As the sun sinks lower in the sky, the shoreline across the … Continue reading That Wild Family of Things
