🌳 TREE 682: Weekend plans

TREEpeat 120

over hills and under trees
there is space
be quiet
let the noise inside fade
breathe slowly
to the rhythm of deep time
these stones dissolving
over centuries
are not anxious
these ancient trees
draw life from soil
made of trees
more ancient still
these streams
have nurtured
all you see
for longer than
than eyes have been seeing
stay a little longer
they will nurture you too

I’ve listened to a couple eye-opening podcast series recently. Both are available wherever you listen to podcasts.

BBC’s Witch is a is a life-affirming journey into world that is alien to my tradition. Plus, you’ll learn that the witch trials were considerably different than any popular understanding of them.

Malcolm Gladwell devoted six episodes of Revisionist History to guns in America. No matter what you think about guns, I bet you a pint at my local that this series won’t be what you expect.

But before podcasts, get outside where it’s not paved and listen to life happening.

Happy weekend
Jeff

P.S. Secret Santa time is just around the corner. Give your lucky person my book.

You know on Christmas day when the presents are opened but Christmas dinner isn’t ready and and there are a couple people who don’t know what to do? If a copy of my book of short stories goes in at least one stocking in your house this year, Christmas day ennui will be banished.
