Remember to breathe — no matter what!
Friends, a quick thought about what so many are feeling these days: insecurity about these trying times. Remember: irregardless of what you may call the Great Mystery, whether it be God, Great Spirit, a more humanized name, or Nature, or, as a friend shared with me recently about how she calls this belief by the…

Tomorrow we take off from Fort Benton, Montana for a four-day trip down the Missouri River, when we’ll be out of touch and out of range. I’m here in Flathead Lake now, after hiking Glacier Park and surrounding area, and we’ve just come back from an all-day trip. Tuckered out. Feet Sore. Happy Heart. Saw…

Friends, some of you who have been visiting lordflea long enough, know i’m not a very regular blogger. indeed, i consider myself lucky if i can blog once a week, and lately it’s been even harder to do that. Why, you may ask? There are several reasons and i thought it’d be a good topic…

Ever since ol’ mr and mrs Hawk moved into our big tall pine tree, built their nest at least sixty feet high, right…
Read MoreThe Fire of Love
Burning fires. Ahhhhh, how I love it! Love THEM! I know an old man who spent the last years of his life, at least 3 or 4 years in total, just staring into a burning fire…which was constantly attended by those many people who loved him. A lot of wood was burned in that fire…

i thought it’d be something new and different to share with you one of my drawings BEFORE it’s finished. So, because i just scanned it yesterday, i give you this image. I won’t tell you what it’s about…i want you to guess! See if you can FEEL what the image is speaking. If you like,…
