Book excerpt: With lush illustrations, poems, and accessible scientific information, The Wisdom of Trees by Lita Judge is a fascinating exploration of the hidden communities trees create to strengthen themselves and others. We clean the air and seed the clouds, we drench the thirsty land with rain. We are like wizards. The story of a tree is a story of community, communication, and cooperation. Although trees may seem like silent, independent organisms, they form a network buzzing with life: they talk, share food, raise their young, and offer protection. Trees thrive on diversity, learn from their ancestors, and give back to their communities. Trees not only sustain life on our planet—they can also teach us important lessons about patience, survival, and teamwork.

Book excerpt: Included in the "Most Anticipated Books of 2024" by the Chicago Review of Books In the backyard of Margaret and Joe Dowling’s new house in the north suburbs of Chicago, Joe plants a young willow tree as a symbol of home, belonging, and growth. As the years pass, the willow becomes a place for Margaret to share life’s wisdom with their four young daughters. Years after leaving the nest, now in their early forties, the Dowling women find themselves faced with changes that will define their lives. Debra, the oldest, is shattered when she is asked for a divorce. Rose, who has long hidden her true self, finally begins to evaluate her pattern of being in uncommitted relationships. Linney fears losing Magnolia, the magical shop where she works. Charlotte, the youngest, is the only one who knows their mother is terminally ill, and has been charged by her with keeping it a secret. And Margaret, now faced with the greatest of challenges and struggling with whether she has done enough to help her daughters find their way in life, calls them all to the family home to reunite under the willow one last time. A metaphorically rich and reflective tale of sisterhood and strength, The Wisdom of the Willow is a story of hope and healing, of the choices that shape our lives, and the challenges we all face as we seek to find our places in the world.

Book Synopsis The Wisdom of a Willow Tree by : Mari Curteanu

Download or read book The Wisdom of a Willow Tree written by Mari Curteanu. This book was released on 2022-03-16. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An inspirational life story about overcoming adversity, rebirth and second chances, with a powerful message and a living proof that you can receive everything that life throws at you and use it as a catalyst for wisdom and incredible inner transformation. The willow tree with its gracious, flexible and resilient nature accompanies a little girl throughout her life journey. From her early years growing up in a communist country, through immigrating and creating a new life, a violent marriage, and all the way to adulthood when she gets diagnosed with a life threatening condition. Her inborn spiritual connection with her wisdom, personified by the nature of the willow tree, is what guides her along the way as she discovers deep truths about life and paths to her physical, mental and emotional healing. The story is built from key decisions made by the girl, and later by the woman, as she goes through all the phases of this tremendous inner transformation from denial, blame, acceptance and identity crisis to wholeness, and complete self-acceptance. A real-life experience of how a positive mental attitude coupled with the innate wisdom of our being, can help us navigate through the most difficult times in life. Like the willow tree, the foundations and the roots keep us grounded in times of storm. The willow invites us to be malleable and to surrender to the flow of life and become part of this dance of nature. Mari's incredible journey is a spring of inspiration for people around the world, and she generously shares daily wisdom and tools for inner transformation with her ever-growing community on her Instagram account@maricurteanu www.bodysome.com
