Damselflies
Why did someone mow the field where the damselflies lived!? Grass, clover, wildflowers in their prime cut down and left to die. And now, an uncanny silence. And a heart-breaking way to begin my day. The damsels brought me the awe I longed for on those ‘ordinary’ days…
Rose Quartz
My first love. …and one of my forever loves.
The first time I touched rose quartz its soothing vibration circled my heart with its rosy pink color and I fell madly and deeply and forever in love. Rose quartz radiated its loving, soft, Divine energy, resting first in my heart…
Mount Saint Helens
Life after death.
I am clearly in another world as I stand here looking over the devastation in this valley. Such trauma. Yet there is an acceptance in the earth. A wisdom beyond our imagination. A dance She does that baffles me. How does She stay in character?…
Chicory
When the heart center (the gateway between the upper spiritual and the lower physical energy centers) is closed off the emotions no longer have a place to process. These raw, unprocessed emotions could cause us to feel weak, powerless and vulnerable. We will brood about things way too long or…
Pink Magnolia
I see the Magnolia trees as they vibrate up and out and stretch high into the sky, humming with a magnificent, high pitch. Pure joy for springtime. Asking me to follow into their stretch.
Magnolia holds space for us, for our spirit, for this life. It helps us to process life, our individual experiences, our traumas. It helps us in the overwhelm…
Medicine Lake
Medicine Lake in California is sacred land. It is a vortex within a vortex, one of the sacred sites surrounding Mount Shasta. Pine, cedar, hemlock and fir trees lead the way up into this sanctuary, tall and handsome and protective, becoming smaller and sparser as we climb in altitude…

Queen Anne’s Lace has a dreamy, delicate, soft, vulnerable quality that goes hand and hand with the sensitivity of a full moon in Pisces. Its flower head reminds me of a life of stories, fragmented and yet beautifully woven together, their beauty realized in the gifts they have given us…
Wild Sweet Violets
Wild Sweet Violets appear when our long grey winter is ending, reminding us once again of the sacred cycle of life. New growth, a new season, fresh new, sweet life emerging. This beautiful, delicate, flirtatious flower gently opens our hearts to the promise of spring…
White Paper Birch
There is an elegance that touches a Birch Tree, beauty that radiates from its branches, bark, leaves, flowers and roots. Every part of it is perfect. Birch has a silence that draws us in, a spirit of mindfulness. ..
Ghost Pipe
There is a tunnel of trees in the woods alongside a place where deer step out to feed on apples in late summer. A canopy of oaks and beeches with old, forsaken branches strewn along its floor leading to a steep, sudden, down slope, too deep and too abrupt to navigate without tumbling down into the valley below…
Wild Rambling Rose
Wild Rose is a vine, weaving and rambling, a free spirit, growing here, there and everywhere, welcoming summer. The energy of this flower dissolves the physical, freeing the heart, letting go of all the excuses, all the blame we hold for ourselves and for others…
