I'm the first person to say that we need to meet ourselves where we are and honor our inner state, be it grief over a miscarriage, fatigue from an illness or total overwhelm from parenting young ones. But when you are ready - and maybe even before you really think you are ready - there will be a tree waiting for you. I hope you give it a climb.

Let's say that if you want the most ideal health, you might be best served by undergoing a lengthy (read: years) conditioning program in the woods and then be released permanently into nature. But you're not going to do that. And neither am I. How about we work on a Plan B?
