  • A black-and-white photograph of a person’s hand, partially obscured by the paws of a cat. The black cat is nearly invisible in the shadows surrounding the hand, but its face must be behind the hand because the whiskers from one side of its face are visible in the light that illuminates the hand. The cat’s paws — white, in contrast to its black legs — are pulling the person’s hand toward its body.
    If I can do nothing more, I go out the back door and sit on the steps where the tuxedo cat rubs my leg and I look for the holy.…

  • A person wearing a blue waterproof jacket and grey pants walks away from us on a narrow trail between giant redwood trees in the Pacific Northwest. They are using a wheeled walker as a mobility aid.
    May all creatures live their lives as if no human crushed asphalt / over the land or shaved ancient forests bald.

  • 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 drop of water forming on the tip of an icicle, against a blurred dark blue and white background. The many tiny cracks and bubbles in the icicle are visible.
    …it is enough to release the piercing frigidity, the brittle rigidity of ice— and embrace the versatile, vital, blessing, bathing, embodiment of water.

  • The trunks of a number of trees in a forest stand on the Olympic Peninsula. The brown trunks stand out against the pale green foliage behind them. The largest tree has a much smaller tree right next to it, some of whose roots are wrapped partway around the larger trunk.
    Hug the prayer before it leaves your body. Float it along like murmuring leaves.…

  • A flurry of red sparks against the background of a black sky. The camera’s shutter speed was set so that each spark leaves a red trail along its path, so the image looks almost like many red pieces of straw in the air, all aligned more or less in the same direction.
    Yule is a time to rest and settle into the darkness.

  • 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.

  • 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.
    May we each model in our natures, the best in Nature. Eternally changing; knowing only movement, and an urge to create life.

  • A grassy meadow with purple flowers under a starry sky showing the Milky Way. The entire top half of the image is the night sky. Between the sky and the meadow, we see the silhouettes of the hills surrounding the meadow, with a soft glowing light behind them.
    In neo-Pagan traditions, we recognize five elements: Earth, Air, Fire, Water, and Spirit. We call on these Elements to help us in a variety of ways…

  • A tree with a large reddish-brown trunk and many branches, whose green leaves create a canopy that covers the sky from our perspective. A portion of another large tree can be seen to the left. The lighting seems to make the tree and the ground at its feet glow.
    When your mind is silent… the forest suddenly becomes magnificently real and blazes transparently with the Reality of God.

  • Looking from inside a room through a set of four tall arched windows, we see a garden with some tall purple salvia-like flowers. Beyond the garden a wide grassy field stretches to the horizon, where there are trees and hills.
    There is no separation, here, of the sacred from the profane. No setting apart from the natural world.

  • The smoothly curving walls of a desert canyon, in which the many sedimentary layers of rock are visible in the red and orange stripes that follow the bends of the surface. The photo is cropped so that the pattern formed by the sedimentary layers appears to be an abstract design.

  • A tree trunk rising out of leaf-covered ground. Further behind, we see a small stand of similar trees, and beyond that there is a lake.
    We honor all our beloved dead whose bodies have returned to the earth, the earth that is our home. We honor their lives which shaped our own. We honor their love, which is beyond death. We honor their teachings, which teach us still.
