Nobody ever planted a tree in this photo. It was a working gravel pit 30 years ago.

We need to get over our obsession with planting trees and let nature do the job. The results are just SO much better.

It's also about realising we are not, in fact, central to everything. 🌍

It would be remiss of me not to let new followers know that I have a book out for #Advent.. It’s a series of meditations on waiting and may help you find space during December.
