    Today’s slice is about my break last week and the unplanned lesson that I was taught from being in nature, noticing the small things, and seeking counsel from the trees. Powerful quotes on the trail signs inspired me to seek the deeper meaning of the words. Quotes, words, images, and a video: https://meanderingmaya.wordpress.com/2015/04/11/a-break-in-nature/

    I’d like to go back now. Nature is the ultimate classroom.
