Amazing...I am preparing a series of sermons and one of the topics I am considering is trees. 20 years ago I stumbled on an article discussing the shared root systems of trees and the need for diversity in our forests. I also have the book which you mentioned. We live on 300 acres of trees and harvest maple syrup every spring. The soil, rocks, climate etc all contribute to the unique taste of maple syrup from different locations.

Your post added to my thoughts today. Thank you. Judy Hewitt Ottawa Valley, Ontario, Canada

Wow, your property sounds absolutely amazing! It’s it amazing how we can relate to each other from so far away through creation? This is especially sweet because I am reading this whole drinking a maple latte :)

Beautiful reflections here Julie. Thanks for sharing them. When you talked about going outside and listening to “reset,” it reminded me of Kim Haines-Eitzen’s new book, Sonorous Desert. It’s all about the spirituality of unique soundscapes. https://press.princeton.edu/books/hardcover/9780691232898/sonorous-desert

My son took this photo with his drone a few years ago. We do not own all this property but that is our sugar shack....
