Amberwood Tales

Theme: Gratitude and contentment

Enough is a feeling you can practise.

Amberwood is late autumn all the way through: deer, low sun, and leaves coming down. It is where the stories about noticing what is already here live.

The setting: Autumn woodland, deer, falling leaves.

      What these stories explore

      Enough. Noticing what's already here, wanting less than you thought you did, and gratitude that means something. These stories move slowly and they look closely, because that is what noticing requires.
