Message from the Mountain

We live about halfway up a magic Mountain with a rich history, much of it still unknown. It is here where I learned to be a channel for the words that fill the podcast each day. Each of you has the s…

In mid-January I do not expect to be able to drive up to the Cabin, but this year I was able to easily get there due to lack of snow. Of course, my truck has four-wheel drive and studded snow tires. …

A light dusting of snow has covered the foothills with a fresh white surface that is not enough to help skiing yet can cover up slippery spots that make walking hazardous. I am reminded of gifted peo…

TIME TO TAKE A HIKE – Many people take a hike in Nature to escape the stresses of life. It is a great way to see things differently and get a different outlook on a situation. “Take a hike” is also a…

The turkeys have created a quilt design in the snow with their tracks. When the snow is fresh, we can keep track of them. It seems as though it is easy to lose track of our lives when we are lost in …

There is a cold wind whistling by my window as I record this podcast. It is a day to prepare for any adventures outside. At the same time there is a warm heat source of love and gratitude in my heart…

As I gaze out at the nearly bare mountainside, it has the look of spring, but I know it is only mid-January, and Winter still has plenty of snow in it. Looks can be deceiving, and many times what loo…

I stood on the shore of the lake looking across the frozen water to the mountain on the other side on a cold winter day. Actually, I was on top of the mountain and the lake was the snow-covered groun…

To many people the winter season with its drab landscape looks very bleak. When I step into nature, I gaze out into the cold and let my mind drift. There is always something to look at that connects …

Every day since the winter solstice, the sunsets have been moving northward, and the daylight is now over ten minutes longer. We are also moving on from 2024 with new goals for 2025. Nature is in tun…

I am always on the lookout for signs of Nature such as a heart shaped rock. I see positive words and acts of kindness from others that result in feelings of gratitude and often change a negative mood…

It was time to erect a new sign at the Center to go with the freshly painted building and the growing Ormond Gardens, and it was designed by my wife and put in place by two of our female members. The…

If all the rain we have had recently been snow, we would now have at least a couple of feet on the ground here in the mountains. Instead, the backcountry ski trails at the Center need more snow. Life…

My intention as I begin this new year is to breathe in heart-based love that I may channel to experience positivity, not only in my life, but for others as well. It creates a day full of magic and mi…

So far, this has been an up and down winter. Just when we begin to establish a snow pack, the weather turns warm and much of it melts. This has been at least the fourth time we have started over agai…

On this last day of 2024, many people set resolutions that often fail in a matter of weeks. Setting an intention daily through heart-based love may provide more flexibility in achieving one’s goal.

The land we live on has many secrets from the past. Many we may never know. Our souls have many secrets buried in them. Some we will discover and some we may not during this lifetime.

I set my intentions to discover something magical in the world each day, such as snow looking like marshmallows that cling to the apple trees. It helps life flow a little easier when I can find somet…

Our flock of thirty wild turkeys seems to have taken up residence between our place and the neighbor’s. They come by several times daily and often take naps after they have eaten. We have thoughts in…

In the summer, it is only a five-minute drive to the Cabin on top of the Mountain. It is so near and yet, with the winter snow, it is far away as I do not hike well on uneven ground. In life, there a…
