Indeed they do. Trees have so much wisdom to share. I keep on my desktop a story from Redwoods National Park about 'nurse logs'. These fallen trees remind me that even when things look completely hopeless, it isn't over. These nurse logs provide nourishment and life to new trees.
This?
Just a Tuesday morning for me.
Sometimes the best conversations happen under trees.

Favorite Emily Dickinson poem. Humankind can live without anything, but HOPE.
“HOPE is the thing with feathers
That perches in the soul,
And sings the tune without the words,
And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm.
…
And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm.

Happy Ground Hog Day! Stay present. Life only becomes ‘a grind’ when we forget to see the good stuff. Until we appreciate these little things in life, we will never really appreciate the big things either. We have the power to make this a good week by our very thoughts about it. Rock on.

With the exception of work scheduled prior to this event, we will be observing the National Shut Down today. We must address our problems in a different way.
May we not allow the brokers of power to divide us. There is no 'them'. There is only 'us'. E Pluribus Unum means "out of many, one".
