    The Power Of The Great Outdoors: How It Helps In Addiction Recovery

    November 19, 2020 / No Comments

    Written by- Patrick Bailey Ah, the great outdoors. There’s something within the human heart that ignites feelings of peace and tranquility when one spends time in the wild woods, a cool garden, or a pristine beach under the sun.  A lot of studies point to the benefits of being outdoors towards mental health. Claims have been made that being outdoors reduces symptoms of anxiety, depression, and other disorders of the mind. No wonder, many seek solace at the natural hues of green and blues found in the trees, water, and sky. There’s a special group of people too, who would benefit greatly by immersing themselves outdoors. Those who suffer from…

    June 12, 2020 / No Comments

    June is National Pollinator Month here in the US! While we should always be mindful of pollinators, June is a great time to dig in and give pollinators some extra love.

    Camping Memories

    June 5, 2020 / No Comments

    Camping has always been a part of my life for as long as I can remember.  Previously, I wrote about “camping with horses” which can be delightful or distressing, depending on how you go about it!   My advice is for you to trail ride all day with a camping pack and rider on your horse so he’s good and tired when it’s time to settle down for the evening.  This next bit of advice, which you are about to read, is more personal than practical, though there are some elements to it which you may find helpful! Camping in the North Georgia Mountains was a favorite of mine when my…

    The Opportunity of Tai Chi

    June 5, 2020 / No Comments

    The first I heard of tai chi, it seemed the idea was that you wouldn’t be there for your opponent to hit you — the art of dodging, I thought. I loved the idea: a humorous approach to self-defense. Of course, that was a very simplistic understanding of a thoroughly complicated system, but as far as self-defense goes, it does get to the essential idea. Even though you are not there to be hit, the other side of that yin is the yang: that your opponent can’t lose you either. You stick. You assist your opponent to go in the direction his force is taking him. Because tai chi isn’t…

    “I say that even after April, by God there’s no excuse for May.” -e e cummings Gridlock in the transportation of food from farms to distribution centers and retail customers during this time of pestilence has forced the conversation. When things fall apart and the center cannot hold, space appears from within the center of the dissolution. Within that space is the core of real life, the inexorable reality on which our human constructs about reality — our cultures, our belief systems, our actions — are built. I pause as I use that phrase, on which our human constructs about reality…are built, because as I write it, the alternative out…

    1624 – John Donne Meditation XVII – from Devotions Upon Emergent Occasions Nunc lento sonitu dicunt, morieris. Now this bell tolling softly for another, says to me, Thou must die. Perchance he for whom this bell tolls may be so ill as that he knows not it tolls for him; and perchance I may think myself so much better than I am, as that they who are about me and see my state may have caused it to toll for me, and I know not that. The church is catholic, universal, so are all her actions; all that she does belongs to all. When she baptizes a child, that action…
