Crashing waves, Falling snow, Salty air, Glowing sky, Beautiful, The foamy water, Rides in and out, As little specks of snow land, On crashing waves, An unusual combination, Yet so perfect, The waves make, Sort of, A rumbling sound, As they turn over rocks, Then they collide with big  beautiful boulders, Splashing all around the…

We both agreed that it was an exceptional year, but also…

By Colby Galliher It’s deep in winter, and a nor’easter is dumping snow outside. In between the howling winds you hear a boom! Maybe a heap of snow fell from the roof, you think, or a giant icicle crashed from the eaves. A few minutes later, another boom pounds through the blizzard’s gales. It’s closer…

Mountain Meditation Marguerite Jill Dye   A dear friend of mine keeps a gratitude journal to write down the good things that transpire—like a heart-to-heart talk with a friendly neighbor, a courteous driver, a fall she avoided. Gratitude grows blessings. It’s a high vibration that attracts the same back to it like a magnet. When…

Happy Gregorian New Year! A change in the calendar year is always so much more than an old year ending. It offers the chance, the hope, the possibility of what you want to bring into your sphere being closer than it was before.  Even if you awaken from slumber on Jan. 1, having seen better…
