Spring hasn’t greened the meadow yet, but the raptors have arrived! Please check out this week's story of my meadow walking. 🪶open.substack.com/pub/kimberlympost/p/the-...

Even in frost soil,

something unseen is moving –

a promise with roots.

Vulnerable at the Edges from A Year in the Life of a Meadow Walker

Late March, thin snow, a woodcock dancing in brown leaves. On thresholds and small, brave sounds. Please take a moment to read! open.substack.com/pub/kimberly...

Thoughts deep as dusk pools,

wild minds open in meadow –

deer breathing, still here.

All life is breathing,

even the hollow between

the stillness listens.

Emissary of the Altered Sky from A Year in the Life of a Meadow Walker

Ostara is supposed to be balance – light returning, bulbs pushing through frozen ground. This year, it also brought a crow under the spruces and a report to IFW. “Emissary of the Altered Sky” is my latest meadow meditation on thresholds, grief, and spring. open.substack.com/pub/kimberly...

The world is thinking,

roots and stars in one long dream –

we wake as the whole.

The Red-Wings from A Year in the Life of a Meadow Walker

With their unmistakable cry, red-winged blackbirds embody the energy of transition. Some teachings describe them as guardians of marshes ... others say their songs help guide the world from cold darkness into light.🪶 open.substack.com/pub/kimberly...

This iceberg was once the biggest in the world. Now it has just weeks left - BBC News A23a was once twice the size of Greater London but now its 40-year journey is coming to an end.

A23a was once Earth's largest iceberg, measuring 1540 square miles. Now, after moving north to the warmer waters of the South Atlantic Ocean, it likely has weeks before it ceases to exist. www.bbc.co.uk/news/resourc...

Wave to cloud to wave
each breath returns to the sea

source of brine-born light.

Sugar maples tapped

tink tink of rising sweetness

winter softens first.

Already Becoming from A Year in the Life of a Meadow Walker

My new post! Early March in the meadow — snow thinning, goldfinches chattering, bluebirds checking their houses. Nothing here is waiting; everything is already becoming. #meadowwalker #March open.substack.com/pub/kimberly...
