Life

So let's gaze upon a willow tree in wonderment of its feelings. Stature and grace it generates from seed to full bloom presence. Weather weathers continually by contorting its stately mass. Rippling motions set to music, perchance, dancing to its dance. Yet, it weeps in wind or sunlight though its presence appears in tact. Large, mature and alone it stands as it suffers its sad solemn act. I too am rooted, still and grounded, also weathered and of such a way. For as I move in changing weather, whether ill or well, ..... I do sway. My attraction to a willow tree is within philosophic thought. For in complex spasm I bough thinking ..... "Am I that sort ... A Willow Tree"? If I'm a shade tree covering friends with compassion when they hurt. All I need is loving fertilizer, water and some of God's good old fashion dirt.�

Reminds me of my, From Little Acorns Grow. Love the image, though a bit large.
