Walk up to an apple tree & introduce yourself by giving it a hug. Ask it if you might climb up into its branches. Find a comfortable spot deep within the foliage where you can nest for ten or fifteen minutes. Feel the sun upon your face… smile back in thanks. Before you pluck a ripe, sun-kissed apple offer the tree your blessing. Twist the stem off and make a wish for someone. Savor the first bite and each one that follows. Put the seeds in your pocket. Throughout the day be mindful of how the apple is nourishing your heart and mind, recall its sweetness by planting the seeds.
