    Yesterday, 26 June, was the feast day of Saint Dav Yesterday, 26 June, was the feast day of Saint David of Thessaloniki — Saint David the Dendrite, the Tree-Dweller. I only discovered this belatedly, and it moved me deeply. Years ago, while walking from London to Jerusalem, I passed through Thessaloniki with my fellow walkers. I did not know then that a saint bearing my name was so closely connected to that city. I did not know that he had lived for three years in an almond tree in prayer and stillness, enduring the seasons. I did not know of his later journey to Constantinople, where he pleaded for Thessaloniki to be spared. Sometimes meaning arrives long after the journey. A man named David. A city I once walked through. A saint who lived in a tree. As someone whose life has become increasingly entwined with trees, threatened plants, rainforest fragments and the healing wisdom of the natural world, I find this connection quietly beautiful. Saint David’s life reminds me that stillness is not emptiness. Withdrawal is not indifference. Silence can prepare us for service. He listened before he acted. He endured before he spoke. He rooted himself in prayer, then descended from the tree to serve others. That feels like a lesson for my own path. To slow down. To listen more deeply. To grow patiently. To become rooted without becoming closed. To let trees teach me how to be more human. Belatedly honouring Saint David the Dendrite. May we all grow deeper roots, softer hearts, and lives that offer shade and shelter to others. #WildNatureTherapy #SaintDavidTheDendrite #TreeDweller #Thessaloniki #NameDay NatureSpirituality TreesAsTeachers SlowLiving ForestWisdom
    I’ve been thinking about St George. 23 April wa I’ve been thinking about St George. 23 April was St George’s Day, and this year it touched something deeper in me. I had planned to be walking through the mountains of Lebanon, but that journey had to be cancelled again because of the growing hostilities in the Middle East. Instead, I found myself learning more about the saint whose story belongs not only to England, but deeply to the eastern Mediterranean - to Palestine, Lebanon, and the lands where Christianity first took root. George was a Christian martyr of the early Church, believed to be buried in Lydda (Lod). His name comes from the Greek Georgios - earth-worker, tiller of the soil. There is something beautiful in that. The brave earth-worker doing heavenly work on earth. In Beirut, tradition says St George slew the dragon near the Beirut River. Whether taken literally or symbolically, the meaning still speaks: Courage facing fear. Light confronting darkness. The innocent defended. Faith standing firm. For Christians, St George has long symbolised courage, sacrifice, steadfast faith, and victory over evil. Perhaps that is why his story still endures. The dragons we face today are rarely mythical. They may be war, despair, fear, division, or the darkness that enters hearts and nations. Yet the call remains the same: Stand with courage. Protect what is vulnerable. Keep faith when the world trembles. Do heavenly work with earthly hands. St George, the earth-worker. May we each find the strength to face the dragons of our own age. #StGeorge #StGeorgesDay #Lebanon #FaithAndCourage #EasternChristianity

It is incredible to see them rise through the Norfolk Island pines on impossibly thin trunks bursting into a canopy of fine lacy fronds. ##norfolkisland #norfolkislandtreefern #norfolkislandnaturally #wildnaturetherapy
