While I was in the mountains over New Year’s weekend, I had occasion to commune with a tree. To be fair, I had occasion to commune with many trees, but this one stood out. She was large, with a thick trunk, although she wasn’t a redwood. She didn’t have a visible Ent, and yet she…

Solstice and New Moon: The Energies of this Week
Solstice, New Moon, and a heat wave. A confusing combination.
Plant Hike
