Thank you for the lovely introduction to your book. I love that you state that when you speak of the spiritual wisdom of trees, you are speaking both metaphorically AND literally. It's that literal aspect that seems to take me even deeper into the reality of the essence of both the trees and myself--a new and wondrous journey of connection. And I completely relate when Douglas Wood speaks of that most-aligned of northern Minnesota woods' trees, the jackpine. Having lived in those northern woods, I too always found the jackpine to have a strong, silent voice of authenticity, completely being itself despite its (unearned) reputation of being less than lovely to look at.
I look forward to getting your book, and may I humbly suggest that anyone reading this consider acquiring it from anyplace other than "that well-known mega-purveyor of books and goods galore," to support their local bookstores. I believe focus on local is one of the foundational ways to build resilience for the times to come.
Hi Carrie. Thanks for reading. I'm glad that you resonated with the tree invitations.
Yes, I hope everyone will visit their local independent bookstore and ask them to order the book. And if that's not possible, I put in the link to Bookshop, a non profit that supports those local independent stores! I appreciate that reminder that local is a path to resilience. I couldn't agree more.
