The Old Trees, Original Artwork by Erica Fareio
“This is a Marathon, not a Sprint,” are words shared this morning in an email from our friend Liz, who is also a Terra BIRDS board member. She is commenting about making it through the current pandemic: maintaining our health and wellness, keeping our finances in order, and staying on track with work or school or whatever it is that we want to be doing. This wisdom makes me think of an Erica Fareio painting of a bristlecone pine and the poem that accompanies it. Bristlecone Pines are the oldest living beings on the planet! Through their lifespan of thousands of years, they endure many significant events and changes. I believe you may find inspiration for your own journal writing by reading Erica’s other pieces as well. One of my favorites is The Space Between. JT
