  • A single leafless birch tree stands in a snowy landscape of rolling hills.
    …There’s a magic to snow that is undeniable. Not just its beauty, which is real, or the way it reflects back to us light or the potential for joy…

  • The view looking out from inside a cave. There are tall deciduous trees and a cliff wall outside, and the rocky ground is covered with shrubs and moss. Inside the cave, barely visible in the foreground, are the silhouettes of four people.
    o green prayers, find me here as i listen wordless in earth’s touchable liminal body…

  • The sun setting in an orange sky, seen from a low angle in tall grass. The grass, mostly silhouetted, is in focus, while the sun is blurred behind it.
    Embrace the darkness unfolding dreams, nurturing life under ground, in the womb, in the dark warmth of loving arms.…

  • A straw bird nest with half a dozen white eggs in it, in a very dark space. Most of the photo is deep black. A few eggs are very well lit, more are in shadow, and the nest itself is barely visible.
    The seedling that comes forth, the bird emerging from its egg, the planet spinning through space: They all come from the darkness…

  • The Rock of Gibraltar, seen from the air, at roughly the same height as the summit. On the right we see the mountain’s steep vertical face of nearly-bare limestone, and on the left we see a 45-degree slope, mostly covered with green trees and shrubs, that leads to the summit. At the summit there are radio towers, and near the summit we see part of the ancient fortifications.
    As the world shifts beneath us, we seek steadiness…

  • A white person with black hair, wearing black pants and a dark striped top with white trim, walks a labyrinth on a beach with the ocean behind them. The labyrinth, similar but not identical to the Chartres Cathedral labyrinth, is marked out on the ground with rocks.
    We honor the great circle of Life that has brought us here and that which will continue when we are gone.

  • An abstract, fluid pattern of pale ripples dashed with vibrant cords of color: violet, gold, hot pink, etc.
    I love you because your transness is not something you overcame—it is something you are.

  • A flock of 50 or so birds, silhouetted against a somewhat cloudy sky. Near the top of the image the sky is blue and the clouds are white, but the clouds behind the birds are glowing deep red from the setting sun.
    Spirit of Life and Love, may we offer our humble, if not sometimes begrudging, gratitude for the miracle of moments taken for granted— for minutes that feel like hours, for the miracle of mountain tops and coral reefs, the miracle of survival and ancient olive trees…

  • A person with dark skin, wearing denim overalls, is partially seen kneeling on the floor. They are holding a long-handled paintbrush and dabbing yellow paint on a paint palette that rests on the floor, at the level of the camera. They appear to be in the middle of a painting in a studio.
    The freedom to seek, discover, and accept others’ truths is a sweet path to follow.

  • A small flowering plant (Phacelia neglecta) on a reddish rock in the desert outside Quartzsite, Arizona. It has four or five leaves on its small stem, and a single blossom with five pale purple and white petals.
    Improbably, the wind-blown seed found its way here, to a long, beautiful stretch of land, but one that was hot, dry, and arid.…

  • A close-up of a piece of lapis lazuli. Most of the image is the deep blue of the stone, but there is a large irregularly-shaped area of white on the left side of the photo. Throughout, the stone contains cracks as well as flecks of gold-colored pyrite.
    Some years are hard. Some holidays won’t feel jolly. Some days are best kept In quiet contemplation. But none of that makes this time less holy. None of that makes you less worthy…

  • A young orange, brown, and white tabby cat lies on a bed with its eyes closed. The cat is on a light brown fleece blanket, and a pillow with a floral pillowcase is visible behind it. Sunlight rakes in at a low angle and illuminates part of the cat and the blanket.
    Sometimes we awake in the morning, and we’d rather go back to sleep… And then, the first sliver of sunshine may dance across our face.

    Let beauty in. Let beauty in like waves lapping on the shore, covering the beach and soaking the sand like an embrace.
