The one perceived
It matters not, how big the tree
And then
One day I look to see
It's been replaced
The tiny maple, with a giant tree
Thank you, Mother
My Mother Earth
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood
I adore the beauty of our world, the uniqueness of nature, the sacred scents of the earth. Oh, how I love thee. It is with such pleasure that I put out some trees, some flowers, and very soon I promise, the buzzing of bees. It is such a pleasure to join in #TreeTuesday with @old-guy-photos. Show me your trees!
My faithful friend, one of many, standing like a century in my life, winter or summer, it never takes a day off... from being a tree.
It has been a long time since I have tried this, so, I'll try it again this week. Is it wrong to post a Christmas Tree on #TreeTuesday? Maybe it is the warmth emerging from my heart on this beautiful day. I want to post something that brings that feeling to people. It seems most can produce that feeling at will during that time of year. So, yes. Take a tree. Now give me some peace on earth, goodwill towards man.
So the joy may touch your soul
The Googles announced a few days ago: NATIONAL LOVE A TREE DAY. On May 16th each year, National Love a Tree Day celebrates the wonderful gifts trees give. Set in the middle of Garden for Wildlife Month, the observance encourages us to care for trees and plant trees.
I missed my opportunity to post in a timely manner.
And just like that, this show is over! Come back tomorrow and we will do it again.
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,
"everywhere"
"everywhere"
