This morning as I browse through my collection of tree images I find myself lingering over this image of my pear tree.
she speaks to me
of delicacy
And then, i scroll back to this tangle of branches and twigs taken in last year's winter woods. The contrast between the two images is a striking one i think:
oh winter woods
you are not cold and bare
as some would thinkno, it is clear
that you are donned
in dignity
and strength
*And so I go forth into this day reminded by a pear tree and the winter woods of yesterday, that I need a tough but tender strength and the ability to speak truth with love.
