Monday
Note from Nature
Very slowly burning, the big forest tree
stands in the slight hollow of the snow
melted around it by the mild, long
heat of its being and its will to be
root, trunk, branch, leaf, and know
earth dark, sun light, wind touch, bird song.
Rootless and restless and warmblooded, we
blaze in the flare that blinds us to that slow,
tall, fraternal fire of life as strong
now as in the seedling two centuries ago.
–"Kinship" by Ursula Le Guin
Testimonials
As many have said, [The Spiritual Wisdom of Trees] course was so enlightening in so many ways! It lifted spirit, it allowed us to wonder, connected us physically and spiritually to the natural world, it engaged us in a community and more. Thank you for all those who led in front and behind the screen! It is a course I will carry with me for a lifetime.
