I'm always for being like a tree.

What kind of tree would you say is your spirit tree?

I'd have to say Willow on that one 😉

Funny you should say that -- I've been watching a bunch of videos about the willow, coppicing and living structures in the last week or two. Looks like a really interesting plant.

What is it about the willow that appeals to you?

It was a childhood friend to me when I was in an abusive home growing up. It felt like a magical refuge. They are also very interesting in how they grow. A tree can grow from a branch that's been swept downstream. So they really do wander!

Thank you Mitra! Your note really moved me and helped solidify my idea of what it means to be a man.

And you, dear Ben, you moved me! You allowed me to feel to experience co creation. What I feel to be true - fires something in you, reminds you of what you know to be true. And then you allowed me to see that, to feel that - and showed me that it reached you and therefore I know that we vibrate in the same frequency at that moment. We tuned in to the same radio station in that moment. I reached you and you reached me because we both chose to. Allowed to. And this soo beautiful to feel - we are simply co creating. Thank you so much for making this so visible- for me to see- for you to see- and allowing everyone else to witness the same. If they want to, they can. So much love ❤️ mitra

For those who spread ideas, beauty and wonder online, I say thank you. And those who misuse the internet to sow hate or sell half-truths, I say good bye. Your presence isn’t welcomed here.
