i stood beneath a tree today.
it had a talk with me.
it said, " 'tis my Maker that made you.
just as your Maker made me.
look—here am i, safe and standing tall...
i made it through the cold, you see.
here i bloom, in spite of bitter months.
no... winter can't and won't destroy me."

So very beautiful! I don't think I truly understood the excitement about Spring or Fall before I lived in a climate that had deciduous trees! Don't get me wrong, evergreens are lovely! But the changing of leaves, their eventual fall, and then their triumphant return...there's nothing quite like it.
this is just so touching.
Happy Easter!
p.s. i hope i'll get to see a photo of the Easter outfit you told me about. it sounds so perfect for you.
What a lovely pairing of prose and photos, G! Thank you for your uplifting message. I want you to know that your work (blog, craft, and otherwise) inspires hope and creativity in me. Oh, and I hope you don't mind that I set the sixth photo as my wallpaper. I love images of tree branches against a blue sky, in any season!
Hugs and happy Easter!

You give me cheer.
trees can indeed teach us so much and you Georgia have much to say this day~

Yes ! We shall overcome !
All the "winters" we go through in our lives won't destroy our faith.
You had a beautiful dialogue with this little Tree of Life today - the sort St Francis would have had on his way to his hermitage, maybe...
I think with all the complaining I did this winter, the tree outside my office window just said the same thing to me and added in a little..."quit your whining !!"
misty eyes after this one.
I loved your conversation with the tree. I've been looking up at these spring buds myself and wondering. Your post spoke to me.
