#Earthschooling365: Day Sixty-Five Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today I noticed how the animals wait until dusk to move into the neighborhood and explore. They stay away from people and houses during the day but feel very comfortable roaming at night. Even though both animals and people want to occupy the same space we seem to have […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Sixty-Four Inner Work Meditation (Heart): My two favorite captured moments today were of deer resting in the woods. Even though they don’t have a lot of space (they live in a thin green strip along a bike trail through town) they have managed to find little private spaces where they feel safe and […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Sixty-Three Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today my favorite two pictures were of rabbits. I love the way they blend into their surroundings and how the light catches their eyes just right sometimes. In fact, in both photos I never would have seen the rabbits if I was not looking very closely. This can […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Sixty-Two Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today on our nature walk I looked up into the sky on the way home and saw a heart in the clouds. It wasn’t a perfect heart but I was having a rough day and seeing it made me smile. Taking the nature walk always makes me feel […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Sixty-One Inner Work Meditation (Heart): As I was taking the picture of the deer below she started to go to the bathroom. Suddenly my pretty nature picture became a silly nature picture. However, instead of stopping my work I continued to take pictures. It made me laugh so I wanted to capture pictures […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Sixty Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today I saw a Downy Woodpecker. There is a picture of him below. He is not just a “bird” or just a “woodpecker” he is a Downy Woodpecker. This is his name. Take some time today to consider using more specifics in your speech and how this might […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Fifty-Nine Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today I saw a little squirrel perching on the side of a large trunk. What struck me about the scene was how small the squirrel was and how large the tree was but when I looked at the first photo I took that perspective was lost. I had […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Fifty-Eight Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today I saw a great horned owl for the first time. It was an amazing moment! I’ve been walking this trail for many years and have never yet seen one. Usually they come out at night. This one was trying very hard to sleep in a dark corner […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Fifty-Seven Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Every day a woodpecker wakes me up by pecking at a tree outside my window. He loves this tree because a branch of the trunk ripped off during a wind storm last year and exposed the inner bark. Ever since he has found this favorite restaurant he stops by […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Fifty-Six Inner Work Meditation (Heart): It’s been raining for two days now here so the deer, the birds and the rabbits have all managed to get wet. The deer hide under trees during the worst of the rain and the rabbits and other animals retreat to their burrows or nests. During the rain […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Fifty-Five Inner Work Meditation (Heart): There are so many old pieces of wood and rotting trees I pass on my nature walk each day. They are not something one would usually look at or consider beautiful. However, paying a little more attention to these things has taught me that beauty comes in many […]

#Earthschooling365: Day Fifty-Four Note: We apologize – the wrong version of this post went out yesterday. We are resending it today. Today’s post will also be posted later today. Inner Work Meditation (Heart): Today I stumbled upon a deer cleaning her wet coat after a light rain. She was so involved in what she was […]
