During much of the COVID pandemic I have paid attention to the trees where we live in Caroline—some still alive, some dead, and some only stumps. Trees communicate without words. Slow down, listen to the trees and the creatures that call them home. Peace settles in that place, even during a time when so much trouble surrounds us all.
