Hints of gladness
In her poem, "When I am among the trees," Mary Oliver says,
"When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.
I would almost say that they save me, and daily."
Last Sunday afternoon, a friend and I found a splendid Pussy Willow tree on the shore of Lake Michigan near the Grand Traverse Lighthouse. I'd been wanting to photograph Pussy Willows, but had not gone to the Lighthouse expecting to see any. What a happy surprise to find this tree at this time of worry and lock downs, when "hints of gladness" are especially prized!
