 A dear friend of mine shared this video with me a couple years ago.  Since then, I've used it as an entry point into a journal write with my students and as a conversation piece with my friends.  The cinematography is incredible to me.  But it's the words that REALLY get me. (Yeah, yeah... I'm a nerd for words.)  It's shot in a Northern California redwood forest, not too far from where I live and work.  Lucky, huh?  I think of this video often when my life goes in a direction I didn't plan.  I know that we grow out...
