Blinded by the rising sun. My writing forced to stop. So often we use these interruptions as a way of getting angry or disappointed. When in reality it could be the universe teaching you how to walk and stop running.

A tree never stops shedding its leaves and branches. Experts say its a tree's way of conserving water. The tree is constantly sending out signals to cells. Because this is a forest I don't allow myself to humanize it. Those fallen leaves and branches are extremely important to other living things on the surface especially when it comes to feeding its own roots.

Waking up to a spring storm. The trees and other living things appear to be prepared to receive. They act like they're listening. Their roots require a good down pour. My thoughts wander. What about our roots? We're constantly running! What if these trees could openly move like the snakes and deer below?

I started from scratch. Planting bulbs. Colocasia Esculenta or Elephant Ears. I'm willing to watch them in whatever is their presence in the present. To receive from their paths of moving forward. Learning the language of this forest. A partner in the process of receiving. Only to ask, "What am I giving back?"

Colder weather usually means the mice are moving indoors. The average home has 5 to 6 and requires 3 months to get fully get rid of them. Is there a positive about mice? They are a totem animal and they do bring messages about how we warehouse not just materialistic things but emotional connections.
