Story & Experience
We had a wonderful time just as the sun came up “Honoring the Bones of our Trees” here at Flat Rock Creek in Missouri. We made the bird from feathers gathered in the days before or gifted by others who couldn’t be with us; and also from flowers gathered as we walked to our spot. The bird song at that time of day was beautiful and the creek bed (waiting for the next good rain) was full of white daisy fleabane, like a flow of water. All around us was evidence of the regenerative power of the forest, which was so hard to imagine when so many trees lost their lives all at once. What a gift it felt to be there. Thank you!
