Walking Among Crying Trees
Find a place
create a space
where you see the wonder
where trees weep
Notice your noticing
the portraits of a tree,
a shrub, a winter tree
the forest landscapes
summer foliage
turning color
hear the stories
of mystery n history
see the scars
sense privacy
for celebration
walk the path home
do more than sigh

| #Regenerative #agriculture focuses on restoring and maintaining biologically healthy soil. It takes its cues from nature, which has a long record of successfully growing things. By recarbonizing soils via photosynthesis and biology, regenerative agriculture produces healthy food, protects watersheds, strengthens ecological and cultural diversity, and expands economic resilience. It is a low-cost “shovel-ready”, solution to climate change. It can restore degraded land. It can feed the world. Regenerative agriculture has ancient origins and is the foundation of Indigenous and traditional food systems worldwide. https://regeneration.org/nexus/regenerative-agriculture |
