The Greening Way
Welcome to the greening gateway! This is an exciting vortex with photos, short video clips, and nature notes that will facilitate a deeper connection to Earth in our commercialized and industrialized age. As an elemental researcher and a member of The Order of Bards, Ovates, and Druids for over 10 years, I am very passionate about bringing these natural “touchstones” and gateways to online spaces where anyone can engage with their potent and medicinal energies!
Want to bring nature closer to home? Did you know that the Arbor Day Foundation is a non-profit organization dedicated to planting (and replanting) trees all around the world? You can choose to buy from a wide variety of tree species available through their online shop, donate to their cause, or learn more about the importance of these natural “antennas” through their blog and tree identification resources! Go here to support their incredible mission and to say “yes” to re-greening our planet for future generations.
From the wilderness, wolves scent morning prey,
Birds rise from meadowed nest,
Many are the wild things of the wood,
That they flee from out of the greening earth.
Good is the season of peaceful summer;
The council of the trees gather together,
A band unshaken by the whistling wind,
A green gathering in the sheltered woods;
Eddies swirl the stream,
Good is the warm turf under us.
