Cherryhill Journal...A Journey Back To Nature: January 2010
http://cherryhilljournal.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Cherryhill Journal.A Journey Back To Nature. Wednesday, January 6, 2010. Tick Tock.tick tock. Pressure - I was feeling a lot of pressure when I wrote this a year and a half ago. A new house with so much work needed, along with my pending decision to quit my career in order to live a new life in a new way. Quiet time - quieting the endless chatter was, and sometimes still is, hard. And as I type these words, the little numbers in the lower left of the screen tell me that it's time to get into the shower&#...

Cherryhill Journal.A Journey Back To Nature. Tuesday, December 9, 2008. A Story in Every Moment. I was walking back into the woods, along the little ridge above the unnamed stream, when it hit me. I hadn't noticed it in the three previous trips back to where I had cut down an old elm tree - trip after trip retrieving tomorrow's firewood.and the next day's.and the next. Mattered in the first place - it only mattered to well-trained minds that follow a trail of breadcrumbs to a place called Oz. I've made a...

Cherryhill Journal...A Journey Back To Nature: Second Chances
http://cherryhilljournal.blogspot.com/2010/01/second-chances.html
Cherryhill Journal.A Journey Back To Nature. Wednesday, January 6, 2010. The story I was working on had to do with a Monarch butterfly I had saved from a stream a few years back on an early October afternoon. And if you know anything about Monarchs, it is during this time (the last seasonal generation - the last of three to four generations here in the northeast each season) that their great migrations to Mexico takes place to insure that their species continues to live on. And it got me to thinking.

Cherryhill Journal...A Journey Back To Nature: July 2008
http://cherryhilljournal.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Cherryhill Journal.A Journey Back To Nature. Wednesday, July 2, 2008. The School of Nature. Nature offers what is needed to fully experience all of our senses – birds singing, water flowing, wind blowing through the forest canopy, the smells of flowers and the taste of a blackberry found along a path. Best of all, is the wondrous feeling of peace that falls over us when in the company of Nature. Lorelei asked, "Grammy, can we walk in the stream? Of course, Joan’s answer was “Yes! Joan was heading down to...

Cherryhill Journal...A Journey Back To Nature: June 2008
http://cherryhilljournal.blogspot.com/2008_06_01_archive.html
Cherryhill Journal.A Journey Back To Nature. Tuesday, June 24, 2008. Growth in Nature.and in Ourselves. Spring is the time for new growth. In the above picture, the new growth can be easily seen by the lighter and brighter color green on the end of every branch - most evergreens show their new growth in this way. Even the tiny forest floor evergreens show how they've grown with the use of color. There have been good years and trying years; years that have included incredible suffering, as well as years t...

Cherryhill Journal.A Journey Back To Nature. Monday, September 15, 2008. Lorelei Teaches Another Class. We forget.sometimes, and need to be awakened by those who've not yet learned to focus on grown-up stuff - the stuff that seems to overtake our lives as we age.the stuff that takes up the room where magic once resided, or so it sometimes seems. When we got to the end of Goat Farm Road, we came to a stop, so Grammy could get out and lower the chain, which allows us to proceed down the "Little" road to ou...

Cherryhill Journal...A Journey Back To Nature: January 2009
http://cherryhilljournal.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Cherryhill Journal.A Journey Back To Nature. Thursday, January 8, 2009. She Changed The Way I See. I sat in her classroom many times over the course of three magical years. Our first meeting came during the fall of 2005. It was November, the most overcast month of the year…and it was a time in my life that I was in-between two worlds - one I had walked away from…and the other, I was still too scared to embrace. She changed the way I see.everything. Her gift was not wrapped in golden paper, nor was it a c...

Cherryhill Journal.A Journey Back To Nature. Monday, May 18, 2009. Aydan, who’s almost two and has earned his current nickname - “Destructor”, was doing his job, exploring his world - getting into this or that. While Lorelei, who soon will turn five, was directing yet another play – one filled with fairies and mermaids, at the world renowned Dining Room Table Theater. I made a tight circle, with Lorelei following my lead and found Aydan entranced by something he’d found on the carpet. He was po...Aydan l...
