"There's something there we sense, but cannot name, a feeling akin to sitting quietly in the presence of an elder. So it is, with pines. You want to slip into their circle and listen." Robin Wall Kimmerer

Getting this tattoo is part of my healing journey of reclaiming my body. I belong to myself. I cannot truly give what is not mine. #BrigidsCross #triskele #ChurchoftheOaks #Celticspirituality

Grateful to be alive on this beautiful morning in this broken world. Inhale: Remember who I am. Exhale: Do what is mine to do.

Heartbreaking news… Tonight, many of our friends were let go, and tomorrow, even more will follow. Word is that all probationary employees at NPS will be let go. 😭

Life After Doom by Brian McLaren is bringing me life. Hosting a book group & it is beautiful to see so many engaging with this. It’s a bit of a roadmap to navigate the chaos we are in. Please consider reading the book and connecting with others. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. #LifeAfterDoom

Good morning! Walking with a 25 lb backpack (aka rucking) almost daily made hiking yesterday feel easier. I am grateful my body is able. I know health is such a gift and don’t take it for granted. #rucking #nature #sunrise

A lovely walk by the creek this afternoon…. a murder of crows, Luna, and a beautiful red shouldered hawk. The sun felt so good.

Hell yeah. Hold the line. This is what we need people to do. Slow things down, don’t comply in advance so the courts have time to stop them. It’s starting to work.

We need to call out the blatant lie being pushed by the Trump administration—that Elon’s staffers have only “read-only” access. It has been confirmed across departments that they have “administrative” access to computer systems.

What are the practices that help you enter into peace? Meditation? Nature walk? Creating art or baking? What nurtures your inner sanctuary? Deep peace be unto you.

A refreshing walk after the storm. I love how the little willows (?) are deeply rooted and able to withstand the amount of water flowing through. Also, the alder leaning into the sunlight made me smile. May I be like these trees.

Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).

I needed to take a couple more Primal Adaptogenic Calm supplements. Putting the kids to bed tonight I couldn’t keep the tears away. The Dept of Education now under attack.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Wild Journey was a little wild this morning in the wind & rain. ☺️ I was the only human attending, but I was joined by many oaks, red shouldered hawk, song sparrows, white crowned sparrows, western blue birds, house finches, towhees, spotted towhees and lots of frogs. What a delight! #wildchurch
