I had a favorite old tree when I was living in New Zealand. I used to go and sit on its branches. I would practice craniosacral therapy on this ancient old being, and, listening to that tree — it’s deep roots and far reaching branches — taught me more than I fully understand about patience, foundations and balance. We call certain plants volunteers, which is a fitting term but also a huge understatement for what plants actually do for humanity.

Looking back, on occasion I would get fed up and wish it would rain more so I didn’t have to haul water, but mostly I enjoyed the dusk with my plants and would often share it with humming bird hawk moths which loved the bouncing bet that grew up behind the corn.
