So beautiful Michelle. Reminds me of my connection to the trees on my parents property which were my “homes”❤️

This is beautiful, and just what I needed to read this morning. A reminder of the many possibilities for belonging that each of us has. ❤️

I'm glad we talked about this before I read it (again) much more carefully! I am moved by the bark, the tree's life wrinkles, and especially the anonymous heart. I think the carver was expressing their love of the tree, just like you are.
