The Echo
This is why I have conquered myself; it was for the echo. For the same memory of a child and for the sake of insanity in the wake I left in distance behind. And in admitting so, I have found an open channel of peacefulness that is sometimes tangled until the unwinding of a park bench, or a tree too deep in the woods to describe. And how unreserved it must sound to one with no experience with knowing pride from the discourse inside an hour. We can only see what we can see, and this is why time comes in such intervals. What came into my present time was only a tree that recognizes what stood there as mine and the glare of the dream, and that is stretching it still some. The trees shivered with the first hints of a storm, and so I echoed it, diligently and gladly, and then I moved on.

These words run deep and strong. They make me think of the roots of a tree. This is beautiful. Thank you. :)

this feels, what, not self absorbed, but
with an absorbing interest in the life
it inhabits...
with an absorbing interest in the life

I look to the outside and find myself. I take and absorb the value of the experience. I like raw nature. I love the geometries of the river and wind, and I attune to it. If I learn from the inside out, it will always be there.

trees represent our roots ...the roots of us as individuals ...the dead trees represent the lost souls
a lovely Carl Sagan quote about we and the trees
“We humans look rather different from a tree. Without a doubt we perceive the world differently than a tree does. But down deep, at the molecular heart of life, the trees and we are essentially identical.”
He's one of my favorites to echo.
He knew about love and intentions.
For the lost souls;
we weep in the sadness, and yes, we do echo.
