  1. Sunday Softening: The Quiet Art of Noticing

    There is a quiet joy in spending time outdoors with nowhere in particular to be. When I slow down enough, I begin to notice the gentle things that are so easily overlooked—the way a breeze lifts the delicate tendrils rising from a cushion of moss, carrying tiny spores out into the world. A bee disappears deep into a blossom and emerges dusted in golden pollen. The angle of the evening light softens as the sun begins its descent, turning ordinary moments into something quietly extraordinary.

    Reflection

    This slowness, this noticing, is what has brought me home—brought me back to myself. Not because the world around me has changed, but because my relationship to it has. When I slow down enough to notice, ordinary moments begin to reveal an extraordinary depth.

    So much of modern life pulls our attention away from the present moment. News arrives without pause. Social media asks us to keep scrolling. Our minds jump from one responsibility to the next until life begins to feel hurried, fragmented, and disconnected from the quiet mystery that has always surrounded us.

    Noticing is an invitation to move in the opposite direction.

    It isn’t about clearing your mind or forcing yourself to be present. It is simply the practice of becoming curious. To notice a thought without immediately believing it. To notice a sensation without deciding whether it’s good or bad. To notice the sounds around you, the rhythm of your breath, or the feeling of your feet resting on the earth.

    Joy

    I’ve found that the more I practice noticing, the more I see. A walk becomes richer. A sunset reveals colors I might have missed. Even painting has changed—not because my hands became more skilled overnight, but because my attention became gentler.

    Curiosity softens judgment. And when judgment begins to soften, we often discover that peace was never something we had to create—it was something we hadn’t noticed.

    This gentle meditation invites you to slow down and reconnect with the simple practice of noticing — noticing the breath, the body, sounds, sensations, thoughts, and the small details of this moment.

    There is nothing to fix, force, or achieve. Awareness itself is the practice.

  8. As terrible as 2026 has been overall, I’ve found myself reaching out to many friends I haven’t seen in a while. A part of me just misses them & realizes earning the MEd & now PhD has taken years of precious time. While I don’t regret it, I need to make time for the people who matter. Covid undoubtedly affected my desire to go out. It’s incredibly comforting and fun just staying home, watching tv/YT vids, and being slug-like as a procrastination strategy. 😉 But it also feels good to #reconnect.

  14. Opinion | Rail trails offer space to reconnect with community – The Washington Post

    Life in much of America today seems fractured, offering fewer opportunities for people to meet, mingle and feel part of the same community. But there is at least one exception: local rail trails — quiet, leafy greenways that follow the paths trains once traveled.

    Over the past six decades, a citizen-led movement has transformed more than 26,000 miles of abandoned rail corridors into thousands of public paths for walking, biking and recreation. Tens of millions of people use these trails each year — in the countryside, in small towns and in big cities. This successful effort to convert rails to trails has never belonged to just one political party.

    Railway tracks incorporated into the High Line in New York in 2018. (Jesse Dittmar / For The Washington Post)

    We know this because we’ve lived it; rail trails have been important to both our lives. One of us (Thompson) grew up along the nation’s first rail trail: the Elroy-Sparta State Trail in Wisconsin, which ran through his family farm. The other (Dean) helped create the Island Line Trail in Vermont, which swings from Burlington out onto a causeway far into Lake Champlain.

    A runner along the High Line in New York in 2018. (Jesse Dittmar / For The Washington Post)

    It was Thompson’s father who helped bring the Elroy-Sparta trail to life, setting in motion a project that revived local communities and became a model for the nation. And it was Dean whose leadership helped secure a U.S. Supreme Court ruling that validated the concept of saving rail corridors.

    These trails do more than repurpose land. They restore communities. They promote health, tourism and local business. They give Americans a place to meet as neighbors, not partisans.
