The land has stories to tell for those who are willing to listen. It’s not a quick and easy process. You have to learn to hear them, and earn their trust. But through the Shamanic work I am doing, I am learning to use my ears in another new way, and the Land Spirits are […]
I did something recently that scared the shit out of me, but ended up really, really good anyway. I don’t need to elaborate, much anyway, because really, it’s kind of a universal idea. I knew I needed to do a thing, figured out a way to make it happen, sewed an extra pocket into the

That is the wild-pitch, longest possible length of time that humans, proto-humans, or human-like people have populated this much more ancient planet. When we think of it in terms of us, like “somebody like me,” living, breathing, walking, talking, singing, having babies, hunting, tending
