Find Altars in nature

I love to find altars in nature, as if Gaia herself were making little rituals of beach logs and salal twigs where I can sit in wonder and meditate on the play of light and shadow in patterns of wood grain.

Sometimes I see that other than human creatures emerge in the shadow play of these altars in nature.  Here a child climbs toward me, there someone calls out strongly.

In my shamanic paintings of nature, I paint to remember each part, and every part between the parts.  I want there to be no past indifferent moment, no forgotten place.
