Doing worthwhile work that will outlive us is perhaps one of those most noble kinds of efforts because we’re helping plant seeds of hope and passion in others that will mature after us but partly because of us too.
Pruning Back Before the Wind Storms
If we can prune away the excess uses of our attention and time, we’ll be in a better position to enjoy the activities and relationships that really matter most to us.
Revitalizing Old Cherry Trees
In incremental ways, we can help each other blossom by encouraging each other to take the time it takes to care for ourselves.

Plants know how to adapt to high energy times and winter reserve time and that’s something we could all do a bit better.
Filling the Unforgiving Minute with Nurturing Soil and Sunlight
What a wondrous gift we can give to others and to ourselves in truly forgiving.
The Analogy of the Fallen Tree
Being Grateful for the Trees Even If We Don’t Hear Them Fall
Joy During the Rainstorms
