The rhythms of nature

Cosmic Catalogue

The rhythms of nature are completely cyclic. Nothing operates in a linear fashion. This is something to keep in mind if you’re holding your breath until 2025.

While you might be excited to bring in the New Year and its stellar configurations, it would be worth your while to reflect on the year that’s been this week. 

Keeping in mind the circular fashion of the cosmos, there are many opportunities to readdress issues from August and November and even the past eighteen months. What conversations would you have if you had the chance again? What risks might you take now if you knew you couldn’t fail? What if you could have the chance to have everything you ever wanted?

Every now and then, the opportunity to tempt your fate, to take the chance to do something you wouldn’t normally do comes around again. This chance is rare. If you’re too focused on the future or even the past, you’ll miss the magic in the current moment. 

It is said that God’s help comes in the blink of an eye. This week however, God is batting his eyelashes. Don’t wait for 2025 for your life to change when you can change it now. The rewards will be well worth the risk.

The longest day of the year has officially come and gone, which means we are now on the slow, downhill slide toward winter.  Given that the days are currently long and the temperatures are nearing their peak, my family has opted for the traditional summer beach vacation.

Life in a shell: eastern box turtle

June 25, 2025
As a budding naturalist growing up in the concrete-heavy environs of Boston, I would regularly thumb through my family’s collection of nature books and daydream about the creatures within. One species I was particularly drawn to was the eastern box turtle. These charismatic terrestrial turtles have high-domed shells festooned with colorful yellow or orange markings…
