This Blog is for Your Stories

This blog is for YOUR stories of life-supporting experiences. Tellers of personal stories weave their tales directly from their own lives. Each personal story, once told, reverberates out, finding kinship and strength in the stories of others. The resulting web of deeply felt events are well-springs for visceral wisdom.

Personally embodied wisdom reverberates within our communities in their bioregions in the Earth’s biosphere, then beyond to the Universe itself. Within our uncertain times, the opportunities opened by each personal story patterns a vision arising from the depths of our desire to nourish all life by uniting mind with body, reason with spirit, justice with diversity, and culture with nature.

I am sitting on a balcony looking east, watching the sun rise at Hacienda Margarita in Puerto Rico. The imperceptible movement of the sun rising reminds me that I can see, but that I cannot see. This blindness is a clear account of why this place, this geography...

Four Corners by Hee Jung Yoon

Four Corners by Hee Jung Yoon

Having lived in all four corners of the Earth, I feel at home wherever I go. Because everywhere I go, I see all Beings vividly similar. Especially now, where everything seems “developed” and homogenized, yet all Beings are different and unique. We all want to be loved…

John Hay: Beyond Language by Jim Ryan

John Hay: Beyond Language by Jim Ryan

I read nature writers the way the devout read the Bible. I go to their words for solace and inspiration. And for escape from the hectic human environment of traffic and TV’s and shrieking jetliners overhead. I can feel as though I am taking a companionable walk on the beach…
