When I walk around Beaver Lake in Stanley Park here in Vancouver BC, like I did this weekend, I always like to say hello to this little tree… so many lessons there, so much medicine:
how we all need a little support at times…
how we each spring from the shoulders of our ancestors…
how there are many ways to reach the sky…
how there is strength in partnership…
What medicine are you receiving from this tree?
“Trees, like people, struggle for existence, and an aged tree, like an aged person, has not only a striking appearance, but an interesting biography.”
― Enos A. Mills, in his book “The Story of a Thousand-Year Pine”
