The Myth of Trees 
Thanks for the perspective. Coming home to a smoke filled, covid ravaged, dry parched landscape – from a clear, verdant green, spectacularly mountainous and colorful landscape in Colorado was a shock. A reverence for life in it’s many forms and stages of struggle is still foremost on my mind. I hope all is well. g

Glad you had a clear break, dear friend. We were evacuated just a few weeks ago. High winds and dry brush.
Miss our casual talks with you both. Insights are hard to come by. Pass on our love.

It is always nice to ‘meet’ a kindred spirit–at least when it comes to tree appreciation. I wonder what it is about humans that we are pleased to meet ourselves in others? Perhaps it is a form of self-approval? Whatever it is, I like how you think. How you write. And the trees you would be in poetry. I will shade my mind with the words you let fall!

Certainly it is no easy thing, to retain a spirit of softness and gentleness when there is so much division and atrocity that can be found virtually everywhere, spilling off the news pages and out of the history books. The post that you shared was beautiful. Wishing you and yours the very best of health, love, and safety 💜 Ari
