Recognizing Abundance

I’m feeling a bit squirrely these days. I mean literally squirrely, as in squirrel-like, because I can’t stop collecting acorns.

Acorns in August

There’s a huge oak tree in front of the church where I work. A couple of weeks ago, I noticed a familiar crunch as I walked past it – the sound of fallen acorns crumbling beneath my shoes. I spent another day or so crunch crunching, then started attempting to[Read more]
