Flight for Trees, You and Me

This morning, a feather on the sidewalk caught my attention. At first glance at least, it looked like a feather. Upon stopping I realized it was a leaf. Quickly a thought crossed my mind, 'What if the birds of long ago created trees, trees in which the birds could live, perch and sing?' I imagined first birds saying, "Let's put leaves on the trees so Tree can experience a sense of flight."

Thus each Fall and occasionally in other seasons, Tree in all its grounded glory experiences the beautiful grace of flight through Leaf.

Like the tree we too may be grounded yet with inspiration and imagination, we fly.

Imagine the shift as you increasingly notice Nature around you. See, hear, touch and remember when we eat, we are eating Nature.

May our Noticings inspire us to flight.
