Sitting quietly at the center of your own life -- The weight of the thick peeling tree trunk holds my forehead as I lean against something stronger than my fragile view of the world. Inhaling the scent of late winter bark connects me to something primal.
It is amazing to me to view the tree that was planted in front of my family home, close to when I was born. I see the real growth that tree has experienced in the 65 years of life that we have shared. I reflect on what growth those years have brought to both of us. It is humbling to think I may outlive the tree. The owners were considering taking it down. Growth and change happen.
This is beautiful. Five years ago I planted a weeping willow in honor of the dog who changed my life. It is so special to me, as are so many of the trees on my property.
