About Me
I live in the mountainous, forested wilderness of Central British Columbia, Canada in a clearing in the woods where I garden, forage, and am always using , learning more about, cooking and creating with herbs and wild plants. I also try to find as much time as possible to stare up at the star-studded night sky, canoe wild lakes, walk and hike in summer, ski in winter, and breathe in the inspiring beauty of nature all year long.
This blog is about trying to live a life close to and informed by nature, seeking out beauty, mindfulness, peace, joy and all those sometimes elusive, sometimes tangible and concrete wonderments of living. It’s about my experiences as a human creature in this particular place and time on this earth.

I’m touched to see my blog listed (‘qualia’) (thank you!) – and loved reading yours! I too am a herbalist, and forage, and belong in wild places. A big hello to you in BC from me in Devon, UK – isn’t the blogosphere amazing? And Henrietta of ‘Angel Wings’ etc is a friend and workshop participant. A bow to you in your woods. Roselle
Thanks for the comment Roselle. I really enjoy your blog and Henrietta’s. Henrietta is an old friend of mine and, to me, a very inspiring person. I love Devon and will be visiting again . . . sometime.
