We’ve all heard the old saying that “You can’t see the forest for the trees.” And in the case of learning how to connect with nature, that’s a good one to keep in mind, although in the reverse.

As I reentered into society after Brian died in August, I often felt like the white elephant in the room.

I’m not exactly sure why, but yesterday I decided to scroll through some old texts between me and Brian.
