"How to Build a Tree" from my book, The Wilderness That Bears Your Name.
A photo of a page in a poetry book with a poem titled "How to Build a Tree." The poem reads: Sometimes your next halting step is more powerful than the grandest vision. ​ All a leaf knows about building a tree is to turn towards the light.

Turns out a lot of people resonated with that uncertain journey towards spring. So I wanted to share that preface with you as a way to open into this season.

I turned it into a PDF called "Spring in the Belly."
