I have a special love for trees, partly because I live in a place where their shade is vital to summer survival. But it’s more than that. An old tree feels like a spiritual being to me. I enjoyed reflecting on trees I have known this week. Please consider this an invitation for you to do the same.
Thank you, Maija. How i enjoy reading your words AND hearing your voice. It is calming and soothing. Full of every day wisdom. I too feel the presence of trees, especially big ones and old ones.
I remember a big old lemon tree in your back yard many years ago. I was marveled by its abundance. How its heavy branches drooped to the ground, dripping with lemons. I asked if I could take some home and you said "of course, help yourself." I walked underneath that canopy and it was like entering a magical world. I filled my suitcase and traveled back to Colorado with a smile. No one else knew why I was smiling so much, but I knew the secrets I carried inside that suitcase. When I got home, I proudly unzipped it to reveal a world of fragrance and yellow joy! What fun our had making lemon curd, and adorning our food with splashed of citrine! I still think of that tree with a grin and thank you inside my heart. And now I think of you too and our shared love of trees.
Thank you Maija.
