WhisperWood is a dream and an idea. It's a peaceful place in time. It is rocky, steep, and covered with hickory, oak, and pine. Red bud blooms in early spring while locust sweetens in the air; the deer go sip from deep ravines and owls turn to stare. Possum, coon, and squirrel abound, and bear and bobcat, too. Possum swing from limbs of trees, and owls say peek-a-boo!
And this is how I came to WhisperWood —
I,
being of sound mind, but vexed by the rattling noise and stressors of
the city, acquired this land through the offices of Phoenix and
Deerwomon, who are women, in longstanding tradition of the Land, who sought no material profit from the selling of parcels, but rather chose to pass stewardship onto
myself merely for the cost of which they, themselves, acquired the land years earlier
from Diana, Founding Mother of our Home.
And WhisperWood —
Who speaks in pine
that whisper in the breeze, hardwood and their happy chorus, through the
boulder's stolid trance, the flower's dance, and through the animals, shy and bold
alike,
I love to hear. Listen to what they say!
Come! We'll wander and wonder together!

ReplyDeletegreetings dear pamela! cindy and i could not be happier for you or more proud of you. may the goddess shine on you continued blessings. cindy suggests marking your property boundary the old-fashioned way, just so the bears are sure of your space:). i say just sing loudly every night. thanks for letting us experience the adventure too! hugs, kristy
