Good evening Kodiak Crossing. Today, as the sun dipped below the horizon, casting long shadows and bathing the landscape in hues of purples and blues, I found myself in the company of our silent sentinels β the trees.
They stand tall and firm, roots reaching deep into the earth, branching out towards the sky. Despite the mightiest of storms, they sway, bend but rarely break. Even in the harshest of winters, they stand steadfast, patiently waiting for spring's warm embrace.
Oh, there's wisdom in these trees, isn't there? A lesson for each of us. In the storms of life, they whisper to us, 'Stay grounded.' Keep your roots firm, yet reach out for the skies. Be flexible enough to sway with life's gales, but sturdy enough not to break.
And just like the trees shedding their leaves in autumn only to grow new ones in spring, they teach us the art of letting go, making room for the new, and the cycle of rebirth. There's courage in that, courage in knowing when to hold on and when to let go.
So, if you find yourself caught in life's stormy weather, I hope you remember the trees. Stay grounded, sway with the wind, but stand firm. Know when to let go, and trust in the promise of rebirth.
To celebrate the resilience and wisdom of these towering guardians, let's immerse ourselves in the song "Tree by the River" by Iron & Wine. May it inspire a connection with nature's eternal spirit and the lessons it imparts. Dream peacefully, and let nature's wisdom guide your way.

Hi! Thanks for your reflections.
I suggest that you put a link to the music of the day. It would be easier to listen after we listen you.
