OAKVILLE, Ontario
When we observe closely, pine trees have an important year-round purpose.
An advocate of mindfulness meditation, Jennifer Brighton tells a story of a young girl's special relationship with nature, and in particular with a beautiful pine tree in her book Jack the Jack Pine: A Mindful Discovery.
The colorfully illustrated book offers a story that guides children to mindfully observe and discover the wonders of the world, and also provides mindfulness exercises designed for them and their parents to further cultivate mindfulness in their lives.
"When we appreciate the interconnection of everything living, we drop easily into gratitude," Brighton said. "When we rest in gratitude, we open to contentment and perhaps even happiness."
