“This tree was born in the centre of the world.

From its highest branches you see what your heart longs for.

This is the tree that lovingly cradles your childhood on its lap.

With the light, silky cotton of its fruit, your people made the pillows on which they rest and shape their dreams.

Climbing this tree, the serpent becomes bird and the word, song.

When I Am Among the Trees

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.
I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.
Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”
-Mary Oliver

Shadows

imageI awoke this morning to darkness.On the exterior of the house outside the window, I watched the movie of the dancing shadows cast by the headlights of a passing car.The sliver of a moon split the sky between the trees across the street.Some things can only be seen before the dawn.
