The New Cottage

It's been a month of absence for me now. For that I apologize. But it's all in good reason. I'm moving! Yes, moving! To a true 'homestead'. It's a tiny home, but a perfect one. Located right on the bank of the Yukon River. Overlooking tundra for as far south as my eyes can see. An alder forest traces the east side of the home. A few willow and a dirt road headed into town take the right side. To the north sits a hill- where cranberries, blueberries, and tundra tea grow. The dogs chose the hill as their home- of course. For it's the very best spot to view all that our new home has to offer. Ravens tease the pups habitually. Seagulls panic on the water- fighting over fish scraps. And it's all so very perfect. I can't wait for the new stories this home will help me tell.

Creating A Never-Ending Energy

I believe in the transfer of energy, and the creation of energy. I believe that once one person sends good energy into the world, it's transferred to others- who then transfer it to even more people. Bad energy behaves the same way. Both are endless cycles. Endless energies. Energies that were once created-- most likely without the intent to change the world. That one person who set that one energy in motion never intended to change everything (for the better or worse), but they did. They made a difference. They're probably unaware of the difference, but it's there. It always will be, as their energy continues to travel to different people. And each day that you and I behave in, we're creating, absorbing, transferring, and containing kinetic energies. Some we absorb and transfer, not by choice- but just by the law of physics (an object in motion stays in motion- an energy in motion stays in motion, no matter who it passes through). But other energies, the ones we ourselves create- we can choose. Do we want to send a positive or negative energy into the world? Do we want to make a change for the better or for the worse? What chain reaction of energies do we want to create today?
