Man, this is so me. Trying to make more hustles, trying to improve at doing this and doing that. Sometimes I feel I just need to slow down and breathe the air. Thanks for sharing another fantastic piece, my friend. Well written.

Thanks for your kind comment, Jerry. Glad you found your sweet spot to interact with Nature. And I’m sure it helps with all kind of stress.

Right? In a hyper-productive-obsessed world there must be a place just for beauty. I’ll send you a picture how the tree looks like in his dark red leaves. It takes some more sunny days and it will show his beauty…
