The Daily Forest Report March 29, 2015 On the Cusp of Everything New
by nielskunze on March 29, 2015
I’m standing at a precipice; my toes curl and grab the edge of an ancient hesitation. “Is this really it?” I ask myself again. Patiently, my mind methodically goes over again everything I know for sure… On the evening of (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 24, 2015 We Can Share the Same Love
by nielskunze on March 24, 2015
(Lavender View by Rhombus from their 2008 album Arkadoomia) Everyone’s got their own agenda. In the cacophony of conditioned desires, it can be difficult to see our way clear, through to the horizons of our spirit’s infinite potential. Spirit is (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 21, 2015 The Very First Spring
by nielskunze on March 21, 2015
“Is there a pinkish hue?” asked George. “A pinkish hue?” asked Jerry. “Sure… I think there is.” Do you remember when clouds were just white… or 56 shades of grey? And the whole sky was a uniform shade of blue? (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 17, 2015 The Return of Hawk
by nielskunze on March 17, 2015
The first thing I need to report is that we were suddenly thrown right back into full-on winter… which is perfectly typical for March weather in these parts. Nevertheless, it still kind of caught me off guard. The place where (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 14, 2015 Jeux Sans Frontieres
by nielskunze on March 14, 2015
(Games Without Frontiers by Peter Gabriel) As Sitka continues to unearth skulls from the pliocene epoch… …and we stroll by the empty nests from last year’s familial concerns, there’s a certain feeling of abandonment. The Forest is a bit like (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 11, 2015 A New Dynamic of Interaction
by nielskunze on March 11, 2015
It’s different now. Even though some things barely change, if at all… is it only at the surface, at the level of appearance? Is there yet somewhere deeper we may go in this longstanding relationship? I’ve been telling you about (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 8, 2015 Make A Game of It!
by nielskunze on March 8, 2015
It was a magic moon last night! The camera has difficulty depicting the full spectrum of colour rippling through the clouds in such low light… but you get the idea. The long, invisible fingers of mountains tug at my overactive (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 6, 2015 The Dire Importance of Eating Filth
by nielskunze on March 6, 2015
I’ve touched on this before. I think last year’s Report was titled ‘Eat Dirt and Live!’ Spring is traditionally the time for deep cleansing, so it might seem somewhat counterintuitive to suggest eating dirt as part of one’s cleansing regimen. (…)
The Daily Forest Report March 4, 2015 The World in Front of Me
by nielskunze on March 4, 2015
(World in Front of Me by Mars Hollow, title track from their 2011 album) It seems as though the world is holding itself an arm’s length away… scrutinizing. We’re in the middle of some kind of pause– at least, with (…)
The Daily Forest Report February 27, 2015 Eagles, Coyotes and Lots of People
by nielskunze on February 27, 2015
As the curtain opens on another day, Earth-life, for the moment, seems to exist at a distance. Everyone and everything seems slightly removed. Eagles have been seen circling and playing above the north bank of the river, just beyond the (…)
