Trees offer us a beautiful example of selfless giving that we can all endeavor to emulate on the spiritual path.
What greater blessing is there at a park or on a hiking trail on a hot summer day than a shady tree? (well, maybe a cold drink!) Trees are truly a gift to all living beings, and we’re reminded of this in the summertime, when they provide a much-needed reprieve from the intense rays of the sun.

The NBA finals are here, and they’re providing some fuel for my spiritual awakening – from the Golden State Warriors! Yes, I’m a fan and that’s a photo of me and my family at a game with the famous Kevin Durant – well, you know, the cardboard version. *wink*
[excerpted from my recent article on Elephant Journal]
Sure, I live in the SF Bay Area, so it’s easy to love our home-town champions (and even when they weren’t champs). But ever since Steve Kerr took over and the Splash Brothers have wowed us with 3-pt performances that have revolutionized the game, I’ve found more to love about this iconic team than their championship reputation. Even if you hate the Warriors, or couldn’t give a fig about basketball, there’s a lot to benefit our own personal and spiritual evolution from how this team works and plays.
