The back cover of Robin Wall Kimmerer’s book, The Service Berry, speaks to my heart.
I am especially drawn to the word flourish. For years flourishing was a guiding purpose in my consulting practice – helping myself and others to thrive and live fully.
My experience of flourishing has softened and deepened over the years. I am reassured knowing Saskatoon bushes will blossom each spring, no matter the challenges in our world. I find nourishment holding a baby, witnessing acts of kindness, navigating a difficult day with grace. This blend of nature’s constancy and small tender moments represent a gentle and meaningful flourishing.
The Service Berry and nature have been on my mind. See some recent posts:
- Poetry that resonates
- Everyday flourishing
- Our Saskatoon, the Service Berry
- Holy Book of Nature, October Supermoon
- The Promise of September
