One Month in Maine

I am spending a rainy windy day in my apartment in Acadia National Park. This is the first day I've just gotten back to some of those personal, internal intellectual activities I am so into in the winter: blogging, posting to favorite online groups about trees and forests, reading.

You're Invited...

I would like to invite the Primal Forest Network members to follow a blog that I write, from which I have drawn some of the material I have in my blog here. It is largely reflections on my experiences in exploring and reflecting on forests, tree and nature, in my life of exploring wild New England and also in my work as an ecologist. It does veer off into other topics as well, and is a personal, diary type blog.

So now, I am employed as the one primarily responsible for managing the health of plants in Acadia National Park. How great is that??

The move to Ma… Continue

My Experiences with the Faerie and Elven Ones

I've never believed faeries existed before.. really believed. I sort of believed, because I trusted everything had a sort of Guardian Angel, but I never saw one and was brought up that they were just fantasy ..like Tinkerbell.

Then I met some Native American women on the Ning forums... each had thier own individual encounters and experiences with these Beings and both women were not flakes.
I've been searching a closer connection with God in my life for years now.., even though my broken human… Continue
