Finally getting a bit caught up on my email... This is lovely, as always, you are such a peace maker! It soothes my scattery self and is like a warm pair of socks.... a strange analogy, maybe, but it's cold here, lol. And I do love Pam Gregory, she's a gem. Very interesting video from her, and I just love your photography, and your Way. xo xo Thank you! ^_^

Having read this wonderful inviting beauty of an essay, I sincerely hope you never consider again to stop 'rambling' about Nature!

This is a window you open for us readers and it's beyond welcome. Oh my. Love the definitions of solitude VS loneliness. Perfect. You so clearly BELONG exactly where you are, and your words make it clear that as you deepen into Nature and its infinite wonders you deepen into YOU and yours.

It's an honor to read, truly.

"I wonder if the Birds and the Trees and the Rocks are familiar with me now. Are they enjoying or cringing at my singing?" Of course they are! And the skies and the earth and all of it. You're all wrapped up in the same song.

(I know exactly, BTW, what you mean about spring and summer - I have that 'talk' with myself every year to embrace and enjoy it all, rather than count the weeks till Autumn returns. :-)

Thank you for the pic and the light you radiate, Barbara. Precious post.

Love to you.

Ohhhhhhh Barbara, please never stop your ramblings, I adore every word. So often I find myself slipping back into the ā€˜real worldā€™, šŸ˜µā€šŸ’« where my anxiety and fear begin to rise rapidly. Thankfully Iā€™m able to pull myself out of the chaos and get back into the woods where all is well and true. I often find it difficult living in both worlds. I wonder, do you find that too?

Barbara, your spirit shines so brightly throughout this piece; it's refreshing to be in your presence.

I'm amazed (or not?) at the synchronicity of our writing. My next post dovetails with yours sweetly. (Hint -- it's about Nature and a bear.)

Love your work ā¤ļø
