When the heather blooms: the end of summer

Last updated on: May 3, 2017 at 5:25 pm By Elinor Prędota

I do my best to appreciate the land as it is, today, through all of the seasons. Sometimes I sing about it; sing to it. It helps move the energy of the season through me; it helps me to settle into how things are, not how I would wish them to be. Read more
