Good morning!

It’s Sunday, and it’s Christmas Eve. Instead of our usual stroll to the ocean, how about a woodland adventure?

We’ve stepped off the dirt road and tiptoed across grass until we spotted a small opening between two ancient cedars tottering at the edge of the woods.

Let’s see what happens if we walk through that opening and see where it leads. Is that water I hear in the distance?

“If you go off into a far, far forest and get very quiet, you’ll come to understand that you’re connected with everything.”

—Alan Watts

Onwards,
