Autumn Winds: Encounters with a World in Transition by Craig Newberger

Monarch butterflies, each weighing less than one gram, can fly as far as three thousand miles. Energized by the sun, they fly during the day following the same mountain ridges and air currents as migrating birds. As they journey south, they rely on nectar from asters and goldenrods to fuel their journey to mountains in Mexico they’ve never seen before. To find out how their destination was discovered, check out my newly released book, Autumn Winds: Encounters with a World in Transition. Available through Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Butterfly - by Linda Hogan(Emergence Magazine)

In the strong earth fragrance

I am part of the tree,

held against it. Brother, Sister,

we came from the cellular division,

its math already figured

many thousands of years

in the beginning,

in the far distance

of the journey,

the fragrance of leaves,

the taste of dew.

I was part of the tree, feeling

the leaves so heavy with

that morning damp,

awaiting the spectacle of sunset,

the evening blue, that vision of night.

Long ago, intruders

forced us to cross this land to the Black Prairie,

where glow worms shine all night

part of the magic of their life.

We traveled the ledge above a river

to the Long House village.

We are the clan of crossings

and the young transformed themselves,

opened their silk, crossed into full,

wing life to fly with all others

at once indigo blue, cerulean, their beauty

leaving us behind to watch,

knowing we crossed time

into the swarm of trees.

This generation; it is time to hunger,

each life still and watching the young

take again to our ways.

We look back and look forward,

remember the beginning.

We remember the milk of stars,

and drink the light.

"Get your motor runnin'
Head out on the highway
Looking for adventure
In whatever comes our way

Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

I like smoke and lightnin'
Heavy metal thunder
Racing with the wind
And the feeling that I'm under

Yeah, darlin' gonna make it happen
Take the world in a love embrace
Fire all of your guns at once
And explode into space

Like a true nature's child
We were born
Born to be wild
We can climb so high
I never wanna die ..." - Steppenwolf

Hmmm ... this must be for the biker side of me that mostly sits in my garage. Steppenwolf is definitely a blast from the past.  If you're too young to know about Steppenwolf, it's worth checking out.

Seit es keine alten Pflaumen & Zwetschgen mehr zu naschen gibt, sind die #Admiralfalter in großer Zahl am blühenden #Efeu 💚 zu finden. Kaum eine Pflanze zieht im Herbst so viele #Insekten an, wie eine blühende Efeuhecke. Allerdings beginnt Efeu meist erst nach 8 Jahren zu blühen. Wer nicht so lange warten will, kann Ranken einer alten Pflanze einsetzen. Die Früchte des Efeus sind bei Vögeln beliebt und die Hecke selbst wird von ihnen gerne als Nistplatz genutzt. So ist Efeu das ganze Jahr über für viele Tiere nützlich.
