Sitting in my garden on this beautiful California post storm day. I have big trees all around me and am thankful that they and me (and my cats) are safe and sound after the storm. But I was worried. It was scary. Worst wind I’ve encountered. Thank you for thinking of us and sending us loving thoughts. I too have been grieving for all the tree lives lost and the homes to many critters. And I grieve too for all the trees that will now be felled to protect homes from fear of future harm. We’ve lived with these trees for centuries but now people fear them and are cutting for fire prevention or other protections.
it’s sad. I’ve thought about it myself. But I’d rather take my chances, run the risk of harm or even death and leave the trees alone.
thank you for this truth. It sounds like you are also being in the difficult work of weaving grief with gratitude and weighing risk with reverence. I'm glad you and your cats and the big trees that hold you are safe and sound.

charlette rose,
