Island Bound: In my town… or "Where the Wild Things Are"
http://alamedaislandbound.blogspot.com/2013/02/in-my-town-or-where-wild-things-are.html
Tuesday, February 5, 2013. In my town… or "Where the Wild Things Are". Foxes dance in the cold grey light, Birds startled burst into flight. Who can say why the foxes dance? Why they spin, caper and prance? Last evening an unexpected guest showed up and sat by our front door. Naturally I’m used to seeing the occasional raccoons, possums, and recently a Cooper’s hawk, visiting my backyard sanctuary however, a gray fox? Posted by Island Bound. February 6, 2013 at 12:23 AM.

Island Bound: Grace
http://alamedaislandbound.blogspot.com/2012/11/grace.html
Wednesday, November 7, 2012. 8220;I do not at all understand the mystery of grace- only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where if found us" Anne Lamott. In India, Hinduism is replete with references to grace (kripa) as the ultimate key required for spiritual self-realization, and considered it to be the only way to transcend the bondage of lifetimes of karma. One Hindu philosopher,Madhvacharya, held that grace was not a gift from God, but rather must be earned. Posted by Island Bound.

Island Bound: Many Doors
http://alamedaislandbound.blogspot.com/2013/01/many-doors.html
Tuesday, January 1, 2013. When one door closes another door opens; but we so often look so long and so regretfully upon the closed door, that we do not see the ones which open for us" Alexander Graham Bell or similarly "When one door of happiness closes, another opens, but often we look so long at the closed door that we do not see the one that has been opened for us" Helen Keller. What might these doors say about the lives of the people behind them? Are they welcoming, and cared after?

Wednesday, May 1, 2013. Birding in the Bay Area and Backyard Birding From Afar. Birding has become a new hobby at my home, and while it's been awesome making note of all the different species, finding places to bird watch has now become a weekend must! Here are pictures of the birds we tracked so far. And then there was the sandhill crane migration in Lodi. Meadowlark, many ducks, hawks, and herons. Great blue heron in Bodega Bay, quail and snowy egrets. Posted by Island Bound. May 2, 2013 at 6:47 PM.

Wednesday, October 22, 2014. You can read more about Japanese forest bathing here http:/ www.hphpcentral.com/article/forest-bathing. STOPPING BY THE WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING. Whose woods these are I think I know. His house is in the village, though;. He will not see me stopping here. To watch his woods fill up with snow. My little horse must think it queer. To stop without a farmhouse near. Between the woods and frozen lake. The darkest evening of the year. He gives his harness bells a shake.
