tree wisdom

i fell in love with this tree...it slowly has grown over the wall...its life coming to an end where it began so long ago...reaching up...always becoming more fully itself...beside this wall for how long now?...and the wall will remain...perhaps fall to pieces as the tree collapses...someone will rebuild the wall again?

i think of both the wall and tree often now...there is a teaching in this coupling...i must go back there soon and stand on the wall...touch the tree...

for some reason it makes me think of others who ebb and flow in and out of my life...i think of their hearts...how closed off they seem to be...are they the wall and am i the tree?...i feel as if the tree is trying to tell me something about hearts and trust and love and all the things going on inside of me these days...i will get to it all i suppose...i have time...so does the tree...we have had time together on this planet...coming up against walls...remaining...

i hear the tree speak "we have done our best in a world of walls"...ahhhh...wise words tree...
