Lost in the tree

Look up and you will surely see,

Always there, everywhere.

Different greens, different shapes,

Always patterns, everywhere.

Watch them swaying in the wind,

Always moving, everywhere.

Stop and feel the gentle love,

Always trees, everywhere.

My oldest sister and I talked on the phone last week and together shared that we were feeling ‘lost in the tree‘. We were talking about the family tree and its many layers and branches. We had discovered a new relative and couldn’t work out how to get back to ourselves. The tree is big and strong and surprising and fascinating – I love looking at it, just as I love looking at real trees. Working out the connections and stories, noticing patterns. It is so grounding.

I am here. Under the tree. Always under a tree.
