When a wood pecker shows up, it can be a deep annoyance. They can be destructive to a house in order to make their own home, however, when they are finding food and putting holes in your trees the opposite is true! What seems like destruction and ugliness to your tree turns out to be the one thing that will ALLOW it to live. They are reaching in to remove bugs that are slowly and quietly killing your beautiful tree. 
What do we see as a nuisance in our lives, that may possibly be saving us….allowing us to see priorities, slow down for beauty, even notice that you have a family to share life with every day. These things can be taken for granted and go almost unnoticed as we sometimes deeply live in the past and future…out of the present.
What is your helper….what is allowing for life and what is truly destructive?
I appreciate this reminder. Those closest to us and the circumstances that are most challenging or annoying can bring us the deepest work – the most tension- the most growth. Thanks, Jess 💛
