  • From behind, seen from shoulders to knee, three Sámi women wearing traditional clothing: cornflower blue dresses with a red ruffle at the bottom, and fringed shawls in shades of light blue and bright yellow-gold, with white and red accents.
    As part of my observance of Yule and Christmas, I honour my female ancestors.

  • In a snowy bank, a small cave has been dug out: about two feet wide and a foot tall. Inside that cave are two glowing candles, a metal goblet, and a plate with small items.

  • A landscape painting by Thomas Cole, of the Hudson Valley school, entitled “Catskill Mountain House: The Four Elements.” The painting shows the tree-covered hills around the Catskill Mountain House, a hotel near Palenville, New York, in the fall. A large rock is visible, as well as a dark rainstorm and, in the distance, a forest fire.

  • A small copse of oaks in a light misty fog. There are still some green leaves on the trees, but the ground is covered with brown fallen leaves.

  • A red fox looks into the camera, which is positioned on the yellow stripe separating the two sides of a county road. We see the otherwise empty road receding far into the distance, but the fox is prominent in the foreground. Blurred bushes and trees — yellow, orange, and dark green — line the sides of the road.
    Today, we are charged to remember. To know that as we live together in community, we are also in community with the silently singing lives in the vast congregation of the earth as well... Let us remember, and then act.

  • Above a cityscape, in a black-and-white photo, a lone crow or corvid spreads its wings mid-flight.
    Crows found ways to adapt to our concrete forests but we have not yet found ways to make sure we are in balance with the rest of creation.

  • Roughly 100 white and reddish-brown mushrooms growing on a decaying tree trunk. Most are seen from above, emphasizing their round caps.
