What Happened To The Tea-pots?
Last time we went to Olav’s Wood….

……we noticed that the Tea-pot Grove has gone – either that or we got lost in the Maze and didn’t chance upon it, as we did the first time we were there in October 2014.
So, I thought I’d put together a selection of pics from the Tea-pot Grove….
Mike communes with a tea-pot...
I make friends with a tree….
And….a story which features that wee tree…

“Ten Love Letters to the Earth
by Thich Nhat Hanh
“I will train myself to look deeply to see your true nature: you are my loving mother, a living being, a great being—an immense, beautiful, and precious wonder.”
No matter how much destruction we wreak on the body of the Earth, despite all we take from her, she continues to nourish us generously, unconditionally. We never have to look far to find her embrace, for she is already within us, and we are already within her.
In his series of tender meditations, “Ten Love Letters to the Earth,” Vietnamese Buddhist monk and Zen master Thich Nhat Hanh invites us to be truly present with the Earth, our Mother. These intimate dialogues, narrated by Emergence executive editor Emmanuel Vaughan-Lee, offer us ways to honor each moment and dwell peacefully with the living world. Embodying reverence, empathy, and humility as he offers prayers to the land, sky, and flowers, Thich Nhat Hanh summons us to remember that the Earth is nothing less than ourselves.
