We want to share another poem with you. This is one of our favorites by a rather well-known poet, Mary Oliver. May it inspire to spend some time with the trees, to remember your belonging and your light, and to slow down for a moment to appreciate the breath in your lungs and the sparkle in your eye.

In our world of busy-ness and sound bytes we tend to rush from one thing to the next, shoveling things into our bodies and minds, rarely giving ourselves the time and space to actually taste and metabolize what we are taking in. And we want you to be able to take this in. It’s quite possible that your life actually depends on it.
