This has left me crying uncontrollably…I have felt really overwhelmed by the fires in my life these past weeks but I have to trust that there is a seed that has been planted that can find its way to green…thank you thank you for this offering today

Oh sweetheart... I know, these times are so hot and fierce. May there be a surprise seed that bursts into bloom beneath your feet. Miss you. Here's to more greening and less things being burnt down!

Perdita, thank you so much for your sharing on motherhood. It seems somewhat relevant to all the mothers of this little apple tree. Such a beautiful sharing, this little tree of active hope

Hi, congrats and a suggestion. That little tree looks like it gets browsed regularly each year by deer. You may wish to help it along by caging it in for 5-10 years so the deer won't mow it down. Good luck with your friend!

Thank you! So far the deer are staying away as I have a dog, but will definitely protect it once I start traveling...

I am crying along with everyone here. I can relate to what you said around loss. I am healing one baby step at a time from this heart broken mess, I haven’t realised the grief I was holding. I am starting to dream again of a garden of my own. Long life to Hope 🙏🏽

Thanks Delphine... I hadn't realized how my heart was so ossified after the fire, how grief wrings us out and dries us out in such a way we don't recognize until we start to come back to life. Sending you much love.

I love that we are all crying together over this little beautiful messenger of hope! I talk to her each day I'm up here, cheering her on and imagining one day eating apples from her branches. May that be so.

She looks like she is thriving. I love the apple. I am 3rd generation indigenous to Washington state. She is our pride and joy, but mostly, like your story showed so prophetically, our hope. The apple tree I mean💓

She is! I watch each day as she unfurls a little more and drinks in the sunshine and recent rain. What a joy.
