As many know I was feeling very dark yesterday and David and I took a drive. On our drive I saw this amazing nature scene - I wrote this this morning as I mixed both reality and creativity together but in its own way it is what happened also in my dreams. I share this with you and give all of the blessings up to God: There she sat in the middle of the corn field Encompassing the beauty of rusted shades Unaccompanied but not abandoned Invigorating her branches in heavenly praise And then she saw me and gently gestured for me to come Offering me a seat of after autumn leaves She spread her naked branches To shield me from both the winter wind and sun Her life-force completed my soul with amazing love As she raised her branches high and low I was encouraged to breathe in and out And soon this relaxed me as if I was in my mother’s womb My eyes closed and I fell asleep for the first time in days When I awoke she was still there watching over me Before me I could see cows as the grazed freely on corn stalk, an art in itself. I watched and imagined them singing “Oh the good old days of grazing, blessings of ample feed” Laughter bubbled over inside me and I felt renewed already. She stretched her arms more towards the heavens given the glory and honor to Him Who bestows such blessings on all his children. The whistle blowing drew my attention and there in a far distance Was a train and childhood memories flooded my mind Of the “Little Engine That Could” The wind had started to blow wild through her lovely branches The sound seem to ring in my ears over and over again I think I can, I think I can, I think I can… I know I can, I know I can, I know I can… My heart leaped me hope as I felt as if I was transformed I rose to my feet and turned and hugged my friend Oh yes there is zilch grander than hugging a tree Through tear filled eyes, I could see him He waited patiently for me to find the comfort I needed He smiled from the end of the field – not to beckon me to him But reassure me that he would wait a lifetime, if needed I hugged my tree friend once more, and with great joy Headed in his direction bursting with a new found faith Into his loving embrace with a tender kiss filled with passion and compassion We waved by to our friend, knowing we could return She will forever be here Written by Julia MitchellJulia Hoffman
