You know you live in a great space in the midst of the city when the tree and landscape service you've hired for spring clean up refer to the job as a "woodland restoration". Those two words reconnected me to the incredible bluff where I live after a long beautiful winter of ice and snow. I was reminded of my role as caretaker of the sacred land on this bluff and the metaphor for the constant need for renewal and restoration on many levels, both physical and spiritual.
