Refverie - Swans and Bears

 Nature walk 2 of 52!!! ⁣ (Number 1 was my GLACIER WALK OMG... see my regular account for details). ⁣ ⁣ I am starting off my weekly nature walks strong this year... I really am excited to get out and about. This walk was a part of an amazing Educator Trek “Where Swans Fly and Bears Walk” put on by @naturalsciences. So incredible - we saw 37 different species of birds!!!!! Probably going to hike in Durham Friday morning if you wanna join 😉 ⁣ If you turn the sound on, you will hear the geese and swans on the lake... a truly surreal and amazing experience. Reminded me of the last part of Mary Oliver’s poem “Wild Geese”:⁣ ⁣ Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,⁣ the world offers itself to your imagination,⁣ calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -⁣ over and over announcing your place⁣ in the family of things.

Refverie - 2018 Best Books

 My six fav books this year! Powerful women, inherited trauma, excellent narration, and all but one by women authors!!! I highly recommend each of these. The Fifth Season and its sequels are truly my favorite books of all time. Wow!!!!
