#Earthschooling365: Day One Hundred Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Taking candid photos of the fawn today I was struck by how innocent and curious her wide eyes were. She seemed amazed by everything in the world. Each sound, taste and sight seemed to please her. She is definitely fortunate to be born as an urban fawn. She lives […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Ninety-Nine Inner Work Meditation (Heart): When I look at the photos I have taken during this project over the past three years they make me happy and relaxed. Looking at each photo is like taking a little trip into a moment so beautiful and magical that I wanted to capture it on film. Studies […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Ninety-Eight Inner Work Meditation (Heart): As I watched the snapping turtle prepare a nest for her eggs today, watched her lay the eggs and then cover them up I thought about the wisdom of time in nature. I sat on a bench for an hour or more and watched her. She had already dug […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Ninety-Four Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today I snapped a quick shot of a baby robin in a tree. There was nothing amazing about the photo itself but the story behind it is amazing to me. For the past six weeks I had been following the life of some baby robins. I watched their mother […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Ninety-Three Inner Work Meditation (Heart): We did a meditation a few weeks ago based on how animals are sometimes able to live in harmony together in nature. Let’s take that idea a bit deeper today. When I saw this rabbit so close to the deer I thought to myself, “why isn’t the rabbit […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Ninety-Two Inner Work Meditation (Heart): If you look at the photo to the left of the tiny bug on the log and the photos of fungi at the very bottom of this post and the photo of the fly on the mushroom you will see that there is a tiny world that exists on […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Ninety-One Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Over the past few years I have gotten to know the groundhogs on the nature walk quite well. There are six “regulars” in total and they each have their own territory. Two of them had babies last year and I usually know when they will be out sunning or foraging. […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Ninety Inner Work Meditation (Heart): During our nature walk today we saw two deer grooming each other. They were so focused on what they were doing that our presence didn’t really bother them and they continued to groom each other. It was so wonderful to watch – that connection between them and the joy they […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Eighty-Nine Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today as I was on our nature walk I noticed a deer crossing the creek and her reflection in the water. Her reflection fell just perfectly into the creek below. It was so magical I stopped and enjoyed the moment (and of course took a couple photos, too). I […]
