In this book I share with you, the reader, many life experiences I have had through the years, and real-life experiences that my partner, Tosha, and I have had with the elements of Nature and animals, during our time together. The other part of the writings pertains to my relationship to many plants, the relationships I have had with them. I chose to write out nature experiences and plants, because they are the backbone of my support and loving system on Earth. Buddhist teachings and my relationship with Tosha have been other important support and guiding lights in my life. Tosha is my life partner for the past 15 years and my Tara meditation partner also. He has been a big help in supporting me to edit down the writings in this book and has written most of the Nature experiences we have had together. I thank him for all his input and energy.
 I have used the 21 manifestations of Tara, as through my many years as a mediator, the Vajrayana practices, as well as the Mahayana Buddhist practices, have been the ones that I have felt moved me forward the most, in what is precious to me. I am a long-time meditator, and through Tibetan Buddhism, have been journeying through all different kinds of meditation practices daily for decades now. This has proved to be highly beneficial to me. And after of these years, I still practice Tara meditations every day. I have dedicated myself to this path, and it is very familiar and uplifting to me.
