The Spruce Tree Journal

The essence of the spruce tree - resilience, strength, renewal, and peace - is infused in ancient Greek myth and in Native American legends. In its most basic element, the spruce tree represents hope.

The writing within these pages, my personal writing, is a mixture of older pieces taken out of the files and dusted off, new pieces fresh from the keyboard, and some previously published pieces. This is only half the project, though.

The other half of this project is you, the reader. Perhaps one of these pieces will resonate with you. Use it to start a conversation with your friends, family, or with me. Take up journaling and share your thoughts. Wherever this project leads us, may it bring resilience, strength, renewal, peace, and of course, hope.
