What is amazing to me is that in all of these conditions, water is still water, just in a different form.

I guess the lesson is that there is beauty (and personal reward) in stopping and slowing down with anything!

I thought about how often in my life I've taken any number of approaches to something, when the best approach was to be disciplined enough stay the course and follow my heart.

I can't put my finger on what draws me to nature spaces, but I know I must be "here". Often. Daily if I can.

I feel ready to let go of a habit of mine: needing to fill the air with chatter, when silence or a single word will do.

There is always another opportunity for me to practice making decisions.

It’s a good day for a prairie hike. I’m so excited by the happenings in a prairie as it awakens after winter, and I can’t wait to head out into this one.

I'm looking at doing things a bit differently now.

I am learning to trust that what I am to see and learn will reveal itself to me, even after the sun sets on this beautiful day.

My ego is hypervigilant and protective of itself.
