Our virtue in this episode is: Presence! Up on a quiet hill in the middle of a busy city lives an old wise tree. She loved living life slowly, and wanted to help others to do the same. One day she decided that she needed to help the park’s gardener, who was always very busy, to enjoy the sunrise happening right in front of him. Come listen and see what can happen when we slow down and enjoy the beauty all around us!
