Thank you for such insight into what really matters. A paradigm shift away from the noise and bring it back to our own accountability for what makes our perception.
I love the apple tree metaphor. Once I would have imagined the past and future through a lens of judgment, trying to figure out how many years a tree has stood. But now I just see beauty in the its certain existence. That it has been there for however long regardless and will likely stay regardless of my judgment.
