If you look , you can see
A portrait of a growing tree
See it framed, see it spread
As with sunshine, it is fed
Slowly rising before your eyes
Underneath the vast blue skies
A glorious vision of natures wonder
As it is framed, rises under
Winters bareness, that you see
Surrounding the beautiful distant tree
Between the trees on a carpet of green
The rays they shine, beauty is seen
Under the crosses of floating white
That battle above with the light
Shining down on the carpet of green
Where trees they grow and beauty is seen
We have had this tree in our home for over 40 years. Every spring it goes outside and puts out new leaves.

My wife and I were lucky to visit Joshua Tree National Park in California last month. The illuminated dusky background and the thorny Joshua tree provided an irresistible image. Hope you everyone enjoys it!

We had our first real snowfall last night and woke up to a winter wonderland. Throughout the day, the sun was in and out of the clouds, light reflecting in odd ways with each passing squall, and sunsets appearing where they shouldn't be. Here the afternoon sun was behind me, lighting up the clouds to the east, and was just bright enough to reflect on this massive tree.
“For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.”

Tree of love, tree of hate
Tree of wisdom, tree of fate
Tree of the beauty of growing life
Carved out of the earth with sweet natures knife
Tree that rises way up high
Spreading wildness across the sky
Tree of wonder, tree of life
Carved out of the earth with sweet natures knife
Over the dun hill,
A tree comes into blossom.
A moment recursive
In Brigid's turn.

Slow-stop in the midst of whatever you were doing, conversation you were having, and look up or down together or alone. Everything changes. In the hilltops, right over your talking heads, the trees are dancing.
