Close to the earth with my feet in the dirt, breathing the fresh air...scents of earthiness, pine, moss , the forest and soaking up the solitude of the natural world ...ahh..this is it. Walking with my little son and standing by quietly as he observes and learns through his natural surroundings...I would love to live in a yurt, but am not there quite yet...When in the urban world it is libraries, health food coops and coffee houses (even though I don't drink coffee:) that I will be. Norah Jones, Shimshai, Bob Marley, Eva Cassidy, and various World music is what I love to listen to. Books that fill my shelves are about natural living, healing, learning languages, herbs, spiritual life and usually that is how I put myself to sleep at night. Waking to the morning with yoga...a deep breath...it begins....namaste (the Divine within me honors the Divine within you)
