How are animal tracks, fern leaf blankets, and acorn mugs of pine needle tea all connected?
On my daily walks through the forest, I've been noticing all the little footprints in the snow. Animals of different sizes - foraging, gathering, hunting, seeking... living.
Even in the middle of a quiet winter forest, there is such movement and life.
Life at a slower pace.
So slow, I've been able to daydream as my childhood self once did - of winter animals all nestled in with fern leaf blankets, sipping pine needle tea from acorn mugs. A warm, cozy life in the midst of winter.
May you have a gentle start to your weekend and make time to discover little moments of wonder.
With peace and love,
