Jane, I'm particularly drawn to your words: "change is not just about beginnings and endings, but about the sacred middle places where we are neither what we were nor what we will become – but something uniquely beautiful in the act of becoming itself."

My dad has a large maple tree in his front yard that was struck by lighting several years ago and almost split down the middle. He refused to cut it down as people recommended. Instead he provided it with wooden props to try to help it continue growing. It is now fully healed with a sturdy trunk and an abundance of leaves. It seems to be saying thank you for the loving care.

God bless your Pa dear Maggie and providing support for the Maple to gather her strength to continue. I love that he believed in her. <3

Yes, Dear Jane, Spring is the season of renewal, beloved by all. In MX on the first day there are parades and grand celebrations. So many plants are dressed in chartreuse, I am dazzled in New England.

This was a beautiful read, so much wisdom. I could read it several times and take something new from it each time. Thank you 💚
