Mindful by nature
Above a valley, this large-scale seed pod invites people inside to feel protected from the elements and at one with the woods.
It appears to be in its natural habitat yet surprises those who find it and wordlessly encourages them to rest.
Its cedar construction and overtly organic form feel affectionate.
At its mouth, the overlapping cedar shingles seem to be caught in a breeze, which is liberating in its feel.
And messages inlaid into some of the cedar shingles offer thoughts, pose questions, and suggest feelings to enhance the meaning of time spent in its company.
