TUESDAY TEACHINGS: Drops of Water

This week I took the Badger car ferry across Lake Michigan with my mom to visit her brothers and my sister. As the boat pulled out of Ludington, a town where I lived for a year watching so many sunsets at the beach, I marveled at the sheer magnitude of Lake Michigan. Michigami, or big lake to the Ojibwe, covers over 22,000 square miles. Its depth ranges from 279-925 feet. It is estimated to hold 1.3 quadrillion gallons of water.
Water is a precious commodity, over which conflicts and battles are fought. I could write an entire piece on the rise of violence related to climate change and dwindling water resources. But instead, I choose to focus on water as a metaphor.

Think about how the lake reflects your life, your journey. Have the waves been choppy and hard to navigate? Or has it been smooth sailing? Do your emotions run deep? Or do they rest close to the surface? What is at the bottom? Deep subconscious memories held at bay, hidden secrets, or delicious untapped potential?
What happens when a stone gets thrown? How far do your ripples travel? Or does the water just swallow up the rock unfazed?
As I stood at the boat rail and looked at the vast, churning waves stretching out as far as I could see in all directions, I felt simultaneously empowered and insignificant. All of us have boundless energy, infinite potential, and remarkable depth. Yet at the same time, we are a tiny drop in an endless sea. I am small, you are small. We are itty bitty drops in 1,300,000,000,000,000 gallons. Yet we are an integral part of what makes the world what it is, our community what it is. I watched waves crashing against the boat and the spray reaching up. I tried to pick out individual drops in the spray, glistening in the sun. I saw many drops, striving for higher heights and reaching for the sky.
If you ever feel like you are insignificant, like you don't matter, remember this. You are seen. You will have moments where you stand out, shining in the sun, and other moments where you blend into the masses. Without the individual drops, Lake Michigan isn't as big and impressive as it could be.
You matter.

TUESDAY TEACHINGS: Lessons From An Acorn

2026 is looking to be a mini-mast year for acorns. 2025 was a great mast year from our oaks. A mast year is when oak and other nut-bearing trees produce an abundance of their seeds. They can produce 2-10 times their normal amount in a mast year.

This serves two purposes. One, it provides plentiful food for wildlife. Two, it ensures that more new trees will begin to grow in the next year because the wildlife will have eaten their fill with lots left over. I love acorns, and it is fun to pick up handfuls while hiking. They look like tiny little fairy heads with their adorable helmets.

Sidebar…but if you have not seen Becorn photography by David Bird yet, please check out his amazing work. https://www.davidmbird.com/ The cuteness level is unmatched.

In honor of these hardy little seeds, here are some lessons you can learn from an acorn.

🐿️ You are small but mighty.

🐿️ You are full of potential. Greatness starts small.

🐿️ You can endure hardships and still bloom.

🐿️ Resilience leads to taking root.

🐿️ Tough moments may crack you, but that just makes room for wisdom and growth.

🐿️ Silly hats are appropriate in just about any situation.

🐿️ Even if you don’t end up where you thought you would, you still have purpose in your journey.
