mmm, gingery.

The light in his face... worth it though it's out of focus. Winnie took this one.

Spending lots of time in the bush lately. The frozen flooded areas increase the walkable area by about another third. I lost my glasses with Nate last week. Mike had to go back and find them for me. After i took this photo with my glasses laying on the ground, i just walked away from them! Bittersweet when i get to forgetting them but still need them for driving.

Being more spare and my husbands outdoor skills help me in the winter.

I have received many words of encouragement and dreams for my understanding from spirit.  The wild places hold this magic, spiritual energy for me. 

I remember picking choke cherries to make wine at Morninglory commune, how much i felt myself in that place, how beautiful the land.  I am recreating that feeling these days. 

I am comfortable in the forest, knowing what to expect and watch for.  I have freedom to release my prayers. 

I was fully content after the big snowfall walking in the forest. It was gorgeous.  Yesterday i listened to Loreena McKennitts drive the cold winter away.  The music is spare, like winter, echoing, hollow.  Her voice is stunning.  Every day i am bouyed by fresh air.
