Me: I’ve lost my River. What should I do? Tree: Shed your dead leaves. Don’t hang on to a single one. Drop the burden. New leaves will then have space to grow when the season changes, freeing you of the weight while at the same time preserving the future of your forest. Be thankful that your soil has been enriched by your River along with the fallen leaves and branches of your ancestors. Use your unique soil and the roots of those closest to you to hold you in perfect balance as you keep reaching up, up, up toward the light.
