    The Arctic freeze has descended on Tennessee. Up here on the mountain – down in the ‘holler’ – over the ‘crick’ we awoke to a damp-cold winter wonderland of 4-degree pristine snow. It sparked a tinge of homesickness for the Last Frontier’s sub-zero, dry-cold winter wonderland. Truth be known, there’s no such thing as Too…

    Shinrin yoku . . . the Japanese term meaning forest bathing. Today, totally immersed wandering the forest witnessing summer’s green begin it’s surrender to fall’s vibrant, multicolored hues, a sudden breeze stirred the leaves.  Silently bathed in creation’s grandeur, I ‘heard’ the sound of the wonder Isaiah wrote of some 3,000 years ago . .…
