This Tree Is Still Becoming

How It Became an Inspiration

Sometimes when you are out in the world, something just grabs your attention. This tree, backlit by the setting sun at that moment, resides by the Adriatic Sea in Croatia. it filled me with a sense of wellbeing I do not ever want to forget. It is one of my greatest desires to evoke that feeling at will, no matter what.

To remember that we, everyone of us, can meet whatever our challenges are with a knowing that in the end, all is well. We can trust in the unknown. That in the present moment we have all that we need. That it is possible to remember that rather than listen to fearful voices of survival, the ones that claim we are not enough.

I not only want to continue doing this for myself , I want to guide others to this same sense of wellbeing though developing intuition. The memory of this tree, and its iteration present on this page, is an anchor. What is yours? Find it. If that sounds like a challenge worth initiating, get in touch. I would love to teach you how.
