This was breathtaking—and giving—to read.

I’ve been reading Robin Wall Kimmerer’s “The Serviceberry” to prepare for Anna Mercury’s book club next Sunday. As I was reading and my 11 year old son was getting ready for school last week (having never read anything from the book!), he said: “Mom, isn’t it so strange that humans are the only animals that pay to live on earth?” This was such a poetically simple translation of the entire book’s message that I felt instantly blown away by his spirit’s interconnection with mine (and Robin’s and Anna’s!) as I am again now to all of our connections with your breathtakingly beautiful spirit, Sez.

Gift received. Again. Thank you, Sez.

Love this remembering. To receive well, with genuine compassion and notice is often the greatest gift we can give back to the things and the people we love. Especially to receive nature.
