still



































































So what do I think? Feel? Or know? I have been back for over three weeks and I’m mostly filled with questions. Yet there is a change in me that is precious; I am able to be still. I can feel stillness when I look at trees (what about trees? What does that have to do with being away?). When I was away in Peurto, I took interest in all the newness around me and took the time to really looked at the surroundings. Just looking at trees became a habit. It’s hard to explain what happens when you look at trees, plants, and the surroundings, but for me, it was special. Try it and see for yourself!

I have created a life with challenge. Coming back has been an emotional process affecting those I care about and myself. So a tribute to trees – may I continue to grow and accept the changes of time as gracefully.
