How wonderful to be reintroduced to sweet birch! Though native to my state, I rarely see it up close. More often, what I find here, including in my front yard, is the river birch which lacks the delicious fragrance. I love learning that the species reminds us of the need to keep moving forward in the fullest expressions of ourselves we can offer. And to ask for help when we need it. My once robust collection of essential oils (I used to have a friend-connection with Oshadhi oils -- https://oshadhi.com/products/birch -- that made them accessible and affordable) has dwindled over the years, and among the fragrances I miss most is birch! I think I will seek out a replacement soon. Thanks, Jan.
