Trolls No longer hiding under bridges or lurking, threateningly, online, but suddenly friendly. Now we encounter trolls lumbering in forests and meadows, beside our still-living lakes and streams. Sturdy as oak trees, they smile down, handing on their message of enough, of simple abundance piled up everywhere. by Leslie Schultz 1.18.2025 

I give thanks for life to walk this earth with beauty this day and all days I was visited and blessed by our local flock of turkeys, about 30 of them in all their glory. Ted Andrew says: Blessings. Blessings and abundance are present. Your efforts will soon be rewarded. Rewards will be proportionate to your efforts.

In early August, we traveled from the hot and humid Minnesota prairie to the cool headland of Point Arena, California. It was the presence of the Point Arena Labyrinth that drew us there, and it did not disappoint.

The moon… she gathers the light of the sun into her arms and gently bestows it to all throughout the night… Wrapping us in her ever-changing blanket of soft light weaving the stars into her fabric, into her face where Hare scampers and runs along the Milky Way into the portal of the Galactic Center back again and up and out of the Big Dipper landing on the back of Ursa Major, sliding onto Ursa Minor singing the entire way… The moon, she laughs and pulls the shades down, so we can sleep and slumber into dreamland re-imagining the world and our wholeness, our humanness beneath her benevolent sight, we pivot into possibilities and settle into the dream-time of becoming. - - - Full Moon in Pisces with Partial Lunar Eclipse September 17, 2024
