Hello Father Oak… I won't awake you from your slumber, but I wonder what story's you could tell…

I nearly just stepped over this leaf like so many others on the ground at this time of year. Not sure why it caught my eye, perhaps because it was all alone… But once you look closely there is so much to see that is beautiful here.

Today's tiny mushroom… nearly didn't spot it peaking through the leafy woodland floor.

Autumnal vibes. We call this tree Steve—named after the lovely book Our Tree Named Steve. Giving names helps build connections; now, every time we visit the woods, my girls want to check in on all the trees they've named.

"Even a wounded world is feeding us. Even a wounded world holds us, giving us moments of wonder and joy. I choose #joy over despair. Not because I have my head in the sand, but because joy is what the earth gives me daily and I must return the gift."

Why do you keep tapping on this silly box when you could be stroking a cat... And of course he is quite right 😉 #cat #logic #bemorecat

What if #self-care isn’t a jug to pour from, but a #forest to grow a web of roots and whispers.

#Mushrooms everywhere in the woods this week.
Reminding me that #care grows quietly, underground.

Made a friend in the woods yesterday…
A Puddock! That's the Doric for them anyway… put me in mind if a poem I learned at school, I might have to see if I can find it…

There’s a kind of joy in the woods when it rains.
Tree roots curl like toes in delight.
Moss swells, raindrops patter, the canopy deepens.
Even the drop that lands on your head feels like a gift.

The #sun is shining, the #trees are still mostly lush and green. It could almost be summer. But there is something about the feel and smell of the air & the energy of those who live here, which whispers of soaking up the #autumnal sun and readying for winter. 🍄🟫🍂🌿💚

Their needs are the same as ours.
Their stories matter too.
It’s time to stand in no mans land and remember it is common ground.

Sad, to hear of Jane Goodall's death. & so grateful she was with us. It feels like many of the wise elders are leaving just now. Makes me feel it is time for more of us to step up. Not to replace them, they are irreplaceable, but to bring who we are to the world with the same unshakable faith. 💚🌿

Been at Allestree Park in #Derby today. Britain's largest urban rewilding project. Exploring a new corner of the park, ready to work with a client there. It's hard not to love where I work.

Under my favourite #Beech #trees. The #colours are starting to turn & the first #leaves are gently falling. A branch has been ripped down in the recent gales.
I notice that sometimes things leave us at as life turns & sometimes storms rip part of us away, when we are not expecting it.
