Dismantling Racism: A Lesson in Interdependence
April is "earth month." There is a very earthy story that begins with a tree stump. That sounds like the end of the story, but it is only the beginning of a wonderful tale by Peter Wohlleben titled The Hidden Life of Trees (c)2016. It is a story of connectedness, relationship, interdependence that we could never imagine in our wildest imagination. Do you like Tolkien, C. S. Lewis and Narnia, and the magic of Harry Potter? This tale exceeds them all because in it we discover the Divine Creator at work in the most amazing ways.
