Walking the Land

Living with the Land

I have a quarter section of land, which is basically a 1/2 mile squared.  It has been awhile since I had the desire to go and explore, but the early snow and the autumn leaves drew me out.  There is so much beauty in the details here.  I thought I’d share some.

I want this land to be a place where people can come to be inspired by nature, to feel the peace, to connect with themselves and to connect with the creator of this beauty.

I love fall as it is a time when there is so much beauty in death, or at least deep sleep.  The trees seemingly die, the grasses die, the water freezes, the land falls more silent, a necessary part of the cycle.

There is a tangible feeling of preparing the the winter.  There is a last frantic search for supplies, a last chance to enjoy the dwindling bounty of summer, and the urge to create a secure and warm home.  I feel it around me, and within me.
