The Things That Feed On Us!

Recorded live from Deer Run Forest Preserve, this episode of Traveling Wild Mind explores an unlikely lesson from nature's smallest pests.As mosquitoes and sand flies buzz through the summer air, I reflect on the people, habits, and situations that can quietly drain our energy in much the same way. While these insects play an important role in the ecosystem, their presence also offers a reminder about boundaries, awareness, and the importance of protecting what nourishes us.Through observation, reflection, and the sounds of the forest, this episode invites listeners to consider what they're giving their attention to, what they're allowing to feed on their time and energy, and how mindfulness can help us recognize the difference.Recorded live at Deer Run Forest Preserve, where even the smallest creatures have something to teach us.
