There is a kind of intelligence that doesn’t shout. It doesn’t belong to us, but moves through all of life—trees, oceans, fungi, stars. We are born into it, and if we listen, we’re invited to align. In this reflection, I explore the element of wood and the quiet shifts it brings when we stop overriding and let life move through us. True Intelligence is not something we learn—it’s something we remember, return to, and live in rhythm with.
