    1. Dear Magyar,

      Thank you for your response!
      "Highwire: betwixt each season's balance: cautious steps."
      That's right where we are for sure. Still navigating that delicate balance. I did put my snowshoes away, but I haven't gotten the spring jackets out yet. :)

    1. Thanks, Nancy! I see spring is still trying to settle in Ohio. My son sent me photos of the snow from this weekend!

    1. Thank you, John. Yes, the frozen ground is thawing and each step leaves an imprint. It's a good feeling after a long winter!

  1. Hi Julie —

    I like the notion of the Earth personified as self-actualized and self aware. Beyond our total human comprehension, and a model for us to live a more trusted, organic life.

    the sail moves
    with the wind's
    shifts of thought
