Thank you for this gorgeous piece. I found your Substack while scrolling on my phone in the back of a taxi, zipping along on the way to an airport in Turkey. Out the window, the mountains of Antalya are hulking against the sky, forested all the way up to their snowy peaks, and the air is hazy with bugs, pollen, butterflies, dust. Reading this glorious love letter to your juniper tree - joining you in attending to him in a way that is so tender, unhurried, expansive - then glancing back up at the thousands upon thousands of stories flashing past: oof. Not sure my psyche is capable of that sort of elasticity. Thank you for challenging me to notice how stretching of attention can go in so many ways

I hope to make the same sacred journey one day. From flesh to soil to sap to fruit. Perhaps even “the sacred tang and tart of juniper berry”. A beautiful melancholy meditation. Thank you 💛
