On my recent visit to the mountains, I took a less-traveled trail. It led through a faerie city, and I was only able to walk without slipping or catching on branches after I promised not to take any more photos.

Shout-out to #vtstatepark roads. I really enjoy these little paved paths through our incredible forests.

Out in the middle of the blue-grey. Love the causeway bike path.

Well, I'm excited for Spring, and it looks like it's completely not up soon. Part of me is missing those winter sunsets though.

Just a friendly skunk traversing my yard, and falling through the snow every now and then. All is calm out there.

Lots of snow means good ski days out in the fields- if the tracks stay.

Do you see the dead branch dangling way up there? Eventually these things will fall.

Enjoying the magic of liminal time and weather. The end of a heavy snow, the beginning of a new day. 😃✨❄️

A favorite evening window texture.

It would be so easy to destroy forever these delicate imprints left by the doves, but I save them as temporary art. Take care to appreciate the fleeting beauty in the world. Accept that even though it may not last, there will always be other moments of art. There will be more beauty, trust in that.

Make sure to turn off everything else for a few moments and appreciate familiar things as if for the first time. Directed attention creates magical novelty; we often forget to just really look at things for their own sake.

As I come to the completion of a 40-day Kundalini meditation challenge, I remember that the achievement of meditation is not an end goal state, but rather a constant greater flowering of one's energy.

Sunny days may be cold, but getting out into nature is always worth the effort.
