Your Land: The rooted and the running (off)
Each spring, I wait for the emergence of our native orchid, the lady’s-slipper. (Maine’s slippers come in four varieties, the most common of which is the pink lady’s-slipper.)

Spirit of Life: Feeling judgmental? Try curiosity
You don’t have to search far to find evidence of the growing polarization of our society. In so many areas of our lives, we are asked to choose sides. Are we red or blue, conservative or liberal, spiritual or secular, for it or against it? It’s not new, of course, this binary way we have […]

Intertidal: Redfish an abundant, sustainable and versatile seafood option
