Sister Corbin Hannah writes column for Global Sisters Report

“Noticing I was caught in my mind, I refocus my attention to the present moment, on all the little spots from where I was removing leaves — countless, miraculous nodes. Nodes are points on a plant stem where leaves, twigs or aerial roots emerge. The node not only supports the structural and biological life of the plant, nodes are a place of healing — which is how grafting happens. This tree is loaded with nodes.

“I look at the mangled trunk and take in all the tiny nodes. I can clip off as much as I can, but as long as there is a node, life will emerge.” — Sister Corbin Hannah, SP
