Precious earthly bodies,
Expansive creative souls,
Co-evolving through each experience,
Carried along in the sparkling river,
Intricately connected in the cosmic web.
How do you live when you remember Everything is Sacred?
Where do you leave the door open for the Wild?
I’d love to hear from you.
Playing in light and love,
Lea
In the very early hours one snowy morning, I suddenly woke with a torrent of words demanding to be written.
You know those times. You wake up in the night and you seem to be getting a Big Download from Beyond. Your little sleeping body is jolted by an immense force asking to be birthed into this world.
Maybe, like me, you sometimes heed the call and you sometimes just grumble as you try, with varying degrees of success, to go back to sleep.
This time the words were so exciting and fresh I had no desire to sleep. Wild Wisdom is not city water. It has not been piped, managed, studied, treated, purified, fluoridated or chlorinated…. The words poured out. Wild Wisdom is water you slurp right out of the icy stream melting from the glacier…. Continue reading
A few days ago I was walking through the thick forest on the road between my mother’s house and my house.
I walk on this road almost every day and I love it and feel grateful for the natural beauty.
But on this particular day, the light coming through the trees and the sound of the creek rushing down the bank, grabbed my attention and I was suddenly struck by gratitude.
I was nearly knocked over by the force of how blessed I am to share this earth. I had to stop and to make more room in my body for more breath and to say our loud- to the trees and the sky and the great mystery of all that is: Thank you! Thank you for this world, thank you for this precious moment of now. Thank you! Thank you! Continue reading
The gratitude that will transform your life
is not the insipid, automatic “Thank You”.
The gratitude that will transform your life
is feisty, muscular, bold and magical.
The gratitude that will transform your life
invites you, over and over,
to Wake Up to the Gift that is Now!

Ten years ago at the beginning of October a river otter came to me in a dream and then, a few weeks later, began showing up in my waking life.
The dream began with a voice saying, “The wonderful thing about otters is the way they move.”
And there was a sleek, shiny otter, rolling, swimming, and cavorting in the currents of a sparkling river.
I became this otter and was simultaneously being and seeing this gorgeous, sensual creature, reveling in the sensation of the cool, silky water, delighting and feeling absolutely at one with the flow.
As the river otter I was dancing in the Dao, delighting in the Dao — reveling in the very river of life.
Then the very last day of October, standing at my kitchen window, washing dishes, I saw a ripple in the pond. It was my river otter. Now, I had been looking out this very window at this very pond for ten years and never before had I or anyone else seen a river otter. Yet there she was. Continue reading

Yesterday morning before dawn I was meditating outside under the full moon and the bright stars when I heard the first wild geese of the year flying overhead, coming home for the winter.
I was preparing for an introduction and guided meditation about Coming Home that I would give that morning at a Unitarian Fellowship. The call of the geese made me think of Mary Oliver’s wonderful poem Wild Geese and about the thrilling and mysterious longing that arises in me when these birds announce their return to our valley from their summertime in Alaska.

Health and Happiness… Is it All in Your Gut?
Why healthy bacteria need to be on your team of healing allies.
Your gut is full of microorganisms. Trillions of them. You have 2-5 lbs of bacteria living in your digestive tract. Many of these are beneficial. As much 75% of your immune function is dependent on your digestive system. The healthy balance of digestive microorganisms (called gut flora) is largely responsible for this immune function.

One day when my daughter Juliana was 7 or 8, I suggested she stay home from school. She wasn’t sick, but she was clearly “off”– just out-of-sync with herself. My Mama-Intuition trusted that a day at home to think, wander, and just be in her own pace would allow her get back into her natural rhythm. Continue reading
