words are bells
let them ring!

today is a tree


small,a sapling,with two broad leaves
white oak or red cedar-i do not know
yet under sunlight,i transplanted them from temporary plastic
watered them,and sat and watched them both
They are as individual as we are
they each require love,care and attention
Sunlight is a given here-water more uncertain
I will provide for their liquidities and be with them
as they rise in our garden over time
They were a gift(like life itself)
and need nurturing.Blessed be the tree
that rises from within our holy earth,fed by sweet rainwaters
willing to share shade in time,and example
of how to grow beautiful in times of war
in the garden.
