“We are showered every day with gifts, but they are not meant for us to keep. Their life is in their movement, the inhale and the exhale of our shared breath. Our work and our joy is to pass along the gift and to trust that what we put out into the universe will always come back.”
— Robin Wall Kimmerer, Braiding Sweetgrass

White Pine Your lower branches dying and yet you stand so rooted in your entire being Thank you for supporting me in nourishing my roots for strength and resilience to withstand the cold and storms Thank you for whispering in the winds of change For moving through my lungs grief that is still holding on even after I let go Breathe into me Thank you May my exhale return to you and all who take care of us
