Tending menopause, turn soil over with care. Rain and Tears mingle.
Two o'clock star walk, I become menopausal cat, searching in the dark.
Her notable book Healing with Nature came out in 2003. “Susan S. Scott is an experienced psychotherapist who, due to a back injury, was forced to abandon her therapist’s couch and walk for therapy. Through her extended strolls through nature, she discovered the ingenious ability of trees to grow around obstacles and, in essence, heal themselves. The result of Dr. Scott’s musings is Healing with Nature. This collection of stories and photos describes a different aspect of the healing process, matched with a corresponding tree image. Readers will learn how to observe their natural environment with fresh eyes, tap into their own self-healing powers, and discover creative ways to become the master of their own lives. An inspiring read for anyone with an interest in spiritual growth!”
She just this month released her newest book Haiku Joy. “Susan S. Scott, PhD, author of Healing With Nature, invites us to explore further companionship with nature in this collection of her contemplative photographs and poetry. Haiku Joy will inspire readers from all walks of life to experience the natural world as friend, muse, and source of well-being. Blending the gifts of art and nature with her counseling practice of 40 years, Susan lives in the Northwest on Whidbey Island.”
