Albert Einstein once said, “Look deep into nature and then you will understand everything better.” 

Kevin, a guide with Beaver Creek Stables in Colorado delivers a powerful story of the Aspen Tree. 

With their breathtaking beauty and many amazing characteristics, Kevin believes the Aspen trees reveal an essential reality.  

Aspen groves are known for their interconnected root systems, where many individual trees share one source of nourishment. This is a powerful metaphor for the important concept of interconnectedness, reminding us that despite individual appearances, we are all part of a larger, unified whole. 

Kevin’s hometown is Hartland, Michigan and he has been working with horses his whole life. He has been guiding in Beaver Creek for over three years. He will tell you his favorite part of his job is being outside and being able to show people the beauty of the mountains, including the magnificent Aspen trees.   

Thank you, Kevin, for a wonderful day.
