Hi, I’m Méia – a tree lover, artist and wanna-be poet with a passion for garden gates, art, homes, history, and audiobooks. I'm growing my roots in beautiful Door County, Wisconsin, helping others do the same, and loving every minute of it.

The Width

“I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I have just lived the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.”
(Diane Ackerman)

One of those mornings
Pondering, wondering
The minutes after meditation
Quiet calm
And nourished feelings
Out of my mind’s sky
This quote comes to mind
Reminds me of the depth of Life
Reminds me that today
At least just for today
I will see past the form
I will remember the connection
Our shared humanness
I will get out of my head
And feel the Quiet Calm
Of this Universe
The Depth of Life
The Width
The Unseen
Nourishes us All
Every moment
Every breath
I hope that you, too
Go within

Inside Out

“Healthy is a state of complete harmony of the body, mind, and spirit.”
(B.K.S Lyengar)

And when you listen
To your heart
Single voice
Single focus
Alignment
And when you listen
To your body
Multiple nutrients
Multiple choices
Variety
Oh health, I know
Inside Out
You grow

“A healthy outside starts from the inside.”
(Robert Urich)

The Autumn of Your Life

“You can’t hide your true colors as you approach the autumn of your life”.
(Unknown)

The time has come again
To shed all the barriers
All the unnecessary filters
That are diminishing the Light
Whatever you picked up along the way
No need for inventory
Time to look ahead and
Move forward
It’s the autumn of your Life
Love yourself
Shedding
Shedding
Letting Go

“We cling to our point of view, as though everything depended on it.  Yet our opinions have no permanence; like autumn, they gradually pass away.”
(Chuang Tzu)

“Nothing is more fleeting than external form, which withers and alters like the flowers of the field at the appearance of autumn”.
(Umberto Eco)
