Maria made a dozen or so Meditation Trees and sold all of them. She might make some more. I offered to buy one, and she said she wouldn’t let me pay for one as I insisted on doing. A kind blog reader offered to buy one for me, but Maria wouldn’t hear that either. Today, she gave me one, and I gratefully accepted the gift. I think she always had that in mind.

This is a beautiful and meaningful piece. I love it and can’t wait to meditate with it in my lap or hanging on a wall. I’ll try it tonight. This is as beautiful a gift as I could get for spiritual and personal reasons. I revel in her gifts. Her love of the world comes through.
