This is so profound and very thought provoking

Thank you most kindly, Cassie!

Much like us trees live in cycles. However, as you have pointed out they are considerably smarter. They have learned the importance of letting go.

If life is little more than a changing of a thousand seasons, you have unearthed a truth that could be valuable to all of us. Well done :)

[Linda Marie Van Tassell]

This is so stoic and true and a philosophy of Buddhism. It's all about letting go of the ego.

Well done.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Your opinion is one I hold in the highest esteem. Thank you, Linda!

[Charles A Ofori]

Much truer than otherwise. Very important to let go of deadly weights just so freshen up. Kelly, you are deep in thoughts.

[Kelly Scheppers]

Thank you for your visit today, Akoto. Very nice to meet you!

[Ken e Bujold]

at first my thought was: how like trees we could be. Then, in my quiet moment of zen contemplation, I recognized you are right Kelly. We are like trees, if we wish to be, we can let go of all or irrelevancies.

lovely poem, very very contemplative

I've come to appreciate those moments of zen contemplation. Thank you most kindly, Ken!

I walked many days and woods when I was younger, studying the language of the leaves changing their direction to either let in the tears of the sky or the light of nourishment from the sun. I learned to know the first signs of seasons, the stillness before each storm, and its signature thereafter. The soft-handled allowance they bowed to every feather and wing of song that came to build its nest or sing of ballad. I don't know if we are, or rather are not as soft the soul as trees, but the lessons learned were welcomed and deeper than any quality offered by experience in way of light or suggested wisdom. In this you've taken me back to a time when I sat beneath both sun and rain, wild in their kind shelter and gifts in patience, holding their willingness and connection with a welcomed silence that I still hear to this day Never a disappointment in your poems Kelly. Thanks for sharing!..much appreciated and a Happy New Year!! Joseph~

Simply reading this aloud to myself, brought both a chill and a tear to my eyes. My younger brother and I often walked through the woods on Saturday mornings, when there was no school. I don't remember there being a particular reason, other than it being quite early, perhaps it was the welcomed silence of which you spoke of so eloquently, that you still hear to this day. That's what I feel going through me, when I stand out on my balcony to a canopy of trees. It is a connection to a time I thought I had lost. This review is most dear, and I'll always be grateful it was from you, dear Joseph! Thank you!

[Franky]

Very wise words are these. Thanks for helping me to think today of letting go of things. Its time.

Many blessings to you, Frankie. Thank you for the joy you bring!
