"...I don't know exactly what a prayer is.
I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass,
how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I've been doing all day.
Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon?
Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life?"
--Mary Oliver
I created this blog to offer uplifting content, and to share my appreciation for the natural world and its gifts. I also follow my own life journey closely, and I want to provide encouragement to those who are in a similar process of self-discovery.

Wild
I feel like I am living a wild life. Not wild in a way that is unmanageable. But wild in the same way that animals and plants live in the wild. I have been having the experience of living in a very changeable world. My own life is full of changes. Some are imperceptible to me, others are right there, drawing me forward. I am right now living in the wild environment of the Pacific Northwest. There is an energy here that inspires me to live more authentically from my wild self. I like it, but it's unpredictable. In a good way. It feels somewhat like controlled chaos. All is well.
