Rowan trees

 

This time of year the Rowan berries are exploding everywhere across sightlines. These were one of the first trees I fully connected with – their insistence that I hear them was inescapable. Later I discovered that Rowan is the tree for my birth date in the ogham tree calendar. One of the things I’ve come to realise is that the trees don’t necessarily have information to share, so to approach them expecting great revelations every time is to leave disappointed. What they offer is a deep and profound connection to the earth and to ourselves, and it is for us to understand and cultivate a sense of gratitude for this gift no matter how subtle it might feel at times. The trees give us what we need, not what we think we want. #dailyconnectionwithnature day98
