Garden Stillness

November 2, 2021April 20, 2022 / Nancy Friedland / 15 Comments

The Japanese Garden may seem like a cacophony of design and yet, as soon as I pass that first archway, a quiet descends, a transformative hush. My busy mind is left behind.

Sticks and stones, ivy and conifers, patience and stillness, oblivious to outside world. Come walk with us.

Effortlessly Into the Gorge

May 7, 2021April 21, 2022 / Nancy Friedland / 10 Comments

A gorgeous spring weekday, a visitor who's never seen Multnomah Falls or the Columbia Gorge, and his fancy Tesla to test drive. All ingredients for a fun afternoon on the road.

The Entire Sky in a Dewdrop

I read a collection of modern haikus the other day, and the words that stayed with me were Quarantine! Finding comfort! Coronavirus! Butterfly! Moon! Breeze!

Spring in Motion

March 26, 2020April 13, 2022 / Nancy Friedland / 13 Comments

A blur of activity, a brain that never stops, a trickster, a climber, a jumper, exuberance that makes me stop and watch, stop and breathe in her 8 year old essence.
