Time has developed an affection in me for both the existence and idea of
trees. There are, perhaps, many 'roots' to this interest as it strikes me that they exhibit many characteristics that are among the best of things human beings can be as well. Sometime soon, I will itemize those; among those being their
resilience, pace, and brilliance. But, for now, simply following the link to my posts on 'trees' over the years will suffice.
'
Poem selection' for the week -- "Winter Trees":
All the complicated details
of the attiring and
the disattiring are completed!
A liquid moon
moves gently among
the long branches.
Thus having prepared their buds
against a sure winter
the wise trees
stand sleeping in the cold.
-- William Carlos Williams
