“We must have been a curious sight. Four forest adventurers, binoculars in hand, engaged in passionate discussion; and one trailing wanderer, eyes tilted toward the heavens.” Join us today as Janine shares a reflection on birding and how it sparked a deeper connection to her own aliveness with the turn of spring. 

Today’s contemplative reflection, “Birding” was written by Janine Schipper on April 5, 2022.
