resting



i deeply desire to scratch below the accumulated layers of silt that have blown over my roots these past few seasons. i want to expose myself to warmth and sun, declaring this a new day, a new moment for green growth. but then the moment passes and the desire fades--a shadowed thought that never was quite shadow because it never did block sun. i am not --however-- without growth. winter's last chill wind puppets more earth to lay still above me, a hill of calm concealment.


all this to say...


i am too lazy to write deeply or wax lovely...


so i'll just post some photos.

I like when you photo posts, my dear; i do.

i love how you capture their straightness and their splinters-- such barky tension.

beautiful. i too understand the frustration of a passing moment of desire...
