As we walk through these dark times and feel the degradation of our earth, a companion can be a reminder of the beauty that remains. These ferns beside the stump of an old tree live on the forest floor of the woods in which I grew up.

Here is another image. Please pause and breathe as you look. Let yourself enter into it. Allow yourself to imagine being there, looking up toward the spire of the church. How does it feel? What does the image evoke in you?  Maine

Here is another image. Please pause and breathe as you look. Let yourself enter into it. Allow yourself to imagine sitting on this old stone wall. Imagine the ancestor who pilled these huge stones with no mortar. Does it evoke thoughts of your ancestors? Massachusetts
