My job this week, along with the rest of the conservation staff, has been to plant trees in burn areas from the big Ponil Complex Fire of 2002. Restoration and regeneration. Perfect!
I've thought about how St. Francis used to preach to the birds, and have so felt inspired to pray for each little tree (we're planting 5,000 - each with an unfortunately low chance of survival) to make it through the dry months and hold on for rain. I'm so blessed to have the chance to so intimately involve my body and soul in the physical regeneration of the land - an absurdly beautiful and direct metaphor for the work that God is doing in me right now. Hallelujah.
