Thank you for this. My back gives me trouble off and on, and I appreciate the invitation to be still and consider a new way to view the pain.

“It all has to come out somehow, and pain is a particularly potent megaphone.” Never have we heard this better expressed. From personal experience we say “Amen and Amen.”

A lovely piece.

I shall always look at poplars in a small spiritual way from now on.

I think the idea of blessing a garden space is perfection - did you know that King Charles always gives a tree or shrub a little shake of its crown after planting and wishes it well? Makes sense. So does stillness in the garden and in life.
