Embracing Choices: Akiva Stern's Poetic Insight in Recovery
Does the tree unfurl its leaves when there is sun to greet them? Does she push off her leaves when the cold winds will take them? The tree may not know, for never has she been asked. She simply does what she does flowing through the seasons.
