A Tree

Sunday already at my window and today I just want to talk about my window, well not the actual window but the view outside of it.

Today my focus is on a tree that is on the other side of the fairway growing at the edge of the creek that runs there.  It is sooo green, you know a true grass green and darker on the right shadowy side.  Then the branches that come this way are bathed in sunlight and One can make out the small leaves, the shapes of the clusters of leaves with the color becoming a more yellow-green at the tips on the left sides of the clusters.  Of course there are many values of the greens beginning darker in the shadows. The left side of the tree is again in shadow because there is mure shrubbery growing to the left placing that side in the cast shadow.  The trunk almost disappears into the shadows underneath the tree and when I focus there I see that there are other trunks barely visible that belong to trees that are located behind this front one.

I love this view; the simpleness of the tree, the complexity of the tree.  From a distance it is lovely, stoic and standing to provide beauty and shade.  If we walk over to it we realize it is home to so many birds, lizards, flying insects, crawling insects, living things tnat we don't even see.  If we study trees we find that they help provide our air, create habitat for larger animals like squirrels amd skunks etc.

For me, I sit and ponder this tree and try to get into its wisdom, into just being here like the tree for we are the same on so many levels.  We are created from the same beginning cosmic cell conspiracy, we are on earth to live together not communicating with words but there is spiritual connection, there is so much to be learned from this tree.  Thank you Universe for this tree.
