2/2025 - The deer are starting to shed their winter coats. Tufts of fur all over the ground. Throughout my life, I have had many profound experiences with deer. Unplanned, touches, appearances, interactions, even support through presence when I needed to be reminded I am not in this alone—moments only for me. As I embrace the changes of my age, I too am shedding many aspects of myself, emotional, physical, spiritual. Learning to trust the process. So I gather my hair, their fur, gifts of presence and acceptance. So it goes.
