#Earthschooling365: Day Fifty-Two Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Whenever I see geese I always make sure I stay a few feet away from them. This is because Geese are very assertive animals. Assertive. Not aggressive. I so often hear people saying that geese are so aggressive but whenever they bite or chase people it is always […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Fifty-One Inner Work Meditation (Heart): When I saw this cat sitting on a tree in the woods near my home I immediately thought about all the feline misidentification stories I have heard over the years. I used to volunteer for a wildlife education organization and we would frequently hear or receive reports about […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Fifty Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today I followed a pretty flower off the bike trail and then saw a pretty bird and soon enough I had wandered into a little area that was hidden by trees and brush. When I came out on the other end there was a little hidden part of the […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Forty-Nine Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Earlier in the month I told you a story about the deer that was so worried about me being near him that when he sneezed he jumped and scared himself. Today we will talk about a different reaction. The deer today are so entranced with the sweet new […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Forty-Eight Inner Work Meditation (Heart): One of my favorite things about a nature walk is observing the patterns of the season and the world around me. Over the past year I have noticed that the ducks always pair up and the same time of the year, that the Bucks only show up during […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Forty-Seven Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today as I was on the nature walk I focused on the beauty of all the plants around me. Bushes, flowers, grasses and trees look so beautiful in the spring as they are just emerging. I love talking a walk on the trail because I get to see […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Forty-Six Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today as I was taking my walk I saw a group of yearlings (the fawns from last year). Some of them glanced at me and some ignored me. The mother was confident but kept an eye on me to make sure I didn’t get any closer. However, one […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Forty-Five Inner Work Meditation (Heart): It was a cold and rainy day today and as I walked along I saw a small baby groundhog laying by the side of the creek. At first I was excited because I had never seen a baby groundhog before. But my excitement turned to worry when I realized […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Forty-Four Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Usually I find myself walking through the woods and watching birds flitting from branch or branch or squirrels scampering up an oak tree. Many times I will even stop to watch a butterfly or bee on a patch of flowers. But today I spent an hour just watching the […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Forty-Three Inner Work Meditation (Heart): My favorite thing about this picture of the hawk today is the way his eye is highlighted by the afternoon sun filtering through the branches in the woods. In fact, we are often captivated by the eyes of both animals and humans. Without knowing why they convey more […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Forty-Two Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Can you see the owl in the tree in the picture below? Because I take daily nature walks and have a lot of experience I often times see things that other people don’t see on the walk. On our walks I am specifically looking for wildlife, and because […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Forty-One Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Are you ever drawn to a particular animal? Do you know why? Take some time today to think about what animal (or animals) you are drawn to and why. This could also be a circle-time discussion with a class of any age or a conversation to have with […]
