Fall Equinox - Turn, Turn, Turn

I was shuffling around the garden shed looking for my crate of dormant tulip bulbs when images of my childhood surfaced in the cool darkness of the Dutch dawn.

I remembered tumbling into the kitchen, grubby from school, grabbing a floppy slice of bologna to run back out and play Swinging Statues with the twins next door. Dad was in the backyard, after a long day of welding Atlanta’s skyline, picking the last of the summer pole beans while mom was in the kitchen, phone cradled on her shoulder talking to granny, canning more tomatoes and okra than we’d eat in a lifetime.

What I can see this morning, all these years and a continent away, is that it wasn’t just beans and okra they were preserving. Mom and dad knew what we kids didn’t, that the coming winter was more than twinkling lights, pretty packages and paper snowflakes. Winter could be a bitter season for a man who spent his days astride iron beams high above a city quickly outgrowing itself. Work could be wanting, so dad and mom would harvest, preserve and pickle to keep our bellies full all winter long. Hope is what they were harvesting.

The equinox, a moment each spring and fall when the earth and all who dwell herein cross a threshold where light and darkness are equal as the earth tilts neither toward nor away from the sun.

In the process of writing my first book, Wildwood Wisdom, I am lingering between the light and dark as I harvest, preserve and share what I’ve sown across 5 decades. It is not always easy work, and Lord knows many days work at my desk is wanting, but I am thankful for this season to look with wonder at a life tilted on the axis of hope.

I invite you to take time at this threshold of seasons to linger and look tenderly at the balance of dark and light in your life. May you harvest with hope what is nourishing and compost with compassion that which does not feed you.

Beautiful people, it is my honor to introduce Butt

Beautiful people, it is my honor to introduce Butterbean, the newest member of our family who arrived today.

No paws will ever fill the Louie-sized hole in our hearts, but we are deeply grateful the rescue folx who brought this little light into our lives all the way from the streets of Cypress.

Welcome, Butterbean! We look forward to our many Wildwood excursions together.

I recently read that @StephenKing recommends writing 1000 words a day. With my rear end at my desk every day by 4:15 a.m., I’m working like the dickens toward that goal so I can share “Wildwood Wisdom” with y’all in the fall next year. @WildhousePubs

A bit of exciting news to share with a wild bunch

A bit of exciting news to share with a wild bunch of people who may have an idea of what it feels like to wander in the wilderness of life and faith and find out the wilderness is exactly where we belong 💚

Friends and kinfolx, I am excited to finally share that I’ve signed a book deal with @wildhousepublications , a vibrant new imprint that aligns with my verdant vision and values.

Good grief, y’all, for over 50 years I’ve been on a crooked and branching path from magnolia groves to tulip fields, from digital diva to tree hugger, from seminarian to nature therapy guide.

And now, thanks to Wildhouse, especially acquisitions editor @suzannewboss (Rev. Suzanne Woolston Bossert who is so clearly called to this sacred work), I have an opportunity to do the hard work of writing about how I’ve encountered a bit of wholeness in all of my wandering and wondering.
