Recovering a sense of abundance, is the topic for this past week’s reading. It is a continuous sound of chipping at the oak tree to see where it all started. Something I feel should be left alone and instead just appreciate how it is still standing. But sometimes if we go back to the roots you will be surprise to see where it all started.
