‘Take it a day at a time, that’s what we do.’

This week we had Earth Day – a global moment of awareness for the Earth which gives us life. I like to imagine the power and reciprocity of billions of people showing appreciation – how the Land and Nature receives this. The hope this must give it.

And, we can take our connection further … inviting communication with it. If we listen gently, with ourselves out of the way.

Said the little tree: ‘Take it a day at a time, that’s what we do.’

I communicate with Nature a lot, especially when ‘working’ energetically with the Land. And even this can be transactional compared to what is possible – whether ‘heard’, ‘seen’, felt or imagined. When we become even gentler – gentle in the bones of our being – and seek maybe the quietest voice in the forest, the garden, the verge … this is when true magic can happen.

‘Go sweetly into the night. Go sweetly into the day,’ said the smallest tree.

The one everyone walked by.
