I just found this. Fantastic. I use to get so lost in our conversations in the car driving to and from On.. because my mind would be lost in the trees. I'm embraced by urban scapes now, the country kept at bay, only off in the distance.

I can't quite put my finger on why/how this stirred me. But I'm glad it came my way.

@SydneyTinker And I am glad you you found it. Thank you.

Wonderful poem Sarah. Come Easter I will be at my parents and then the forest is only a few steps away. Time to say hello to some old friends there.

@NaomiClareNL Trees are good friends to have.....and I say that without meaning it as a cliche. They have provided me with great solace many times.....and a walk in the forest is precious in Spring. much care sent your way....S

Forests have long been where I go for refuge - they center me, pull me into a silence. I hope you can find one to walk within.

This video reminds me of growing up in Maryland/Pennsylvania. Where was this shot Sarah?

[unmeasuredinstances]

Hey Meghan - lovely to see your comment here. These pictures were taken around the area where I live, a rural valley tucked away in upstate NY, so not unlike PA or Maryland.

I love this!I usually have a hard time appreciating poetry (besides that in song lyrics)but your poetry has such a nice flow to them! /Carlo

@ThemCrookdVultures Carlo, thank you....that it could reach past those barriers means a lot to me.

Brilliant, inspired as usual. "Overflowing" is a great description, so full of ambition, so demanding of attention and respect for their size, so refined in their definition of one tree, as much as their place as part of the woods. Well done, Sarah. And thank you. Love, Sama

@ufo8mykat I don't feel bashful to say that when I put these things together I have in mind, as my interlocutors and hearers, a handful of people, and certainly among that handful is you. I so appreciate your heart and spirit. Much love....Sarah
