Beautifully said. Terrific economy and brevity, painting a single, thoughtful portrait. <3

Many thanks. Sometimes it's best to keep it simple.

love the opening line BT, it grabbed my attention and you didn't let go, also liked the at one with nature and the inevitability of its course

Thank you, Razz - I'm gratified that you enjoyed this!
cheers

The beauty of it all.

I really resonate with this.

That's why I don't do anything half ass. Give it your all. One life to live. (;

Exactly.
I think if you were a tree, you'd turn bright red in fall.  ;)
Thanks for the love!

I love this! The progression's powerful, the message profound. Bravisima!  
 
Did you take the awesome picture?

I sure did, from my perch! 🙂

Thanks muchly...

Oh the world you can see while climbing a tree.

Many thanks! Glad to hear the ending worked..... I struggled with the right words there.
I'm fascinated by the different characters of trees that emerge when the thing that makes them all look the same (chlorophyll) is gone..... I think there's still more poetry brewing on the topic....

Anyway, rambling. Thanks for the enthusiastic support, HF.

I climb trees fairly regularly, and this one is my favourite. No blind, just a comfy branch. It's where I go to talk to Something Bigger Than Me. 😉

Funny story - I did surprise the neighbours once, as they were walking the trail. Would have passed right under me unaware, but the stupid dog noticed me. Totally awkward! Grown-ups are not supposed to sit in trees for no reason..... I stopped for quite a while after that, but I've resumed the practice recently. They already think I'm a freak now, might as well confirm their suspicions!!

Go find a great (not skinny) climb-able tree and get up there! I promise you won't regret it. 😊

I love that neighbor story and your motivation for climbing the trees.

I really loved this the picture goes perfectly with the words :-))))

Excellent scribe :-)))))

Thank you for visiting, and for the RL! I'm glad you liked it. 🙂
I've been taking a ridiculous number of tree pictures..... so lovely this time of year.

Beautiful Sadness and the wheel of life, Lovely Write BT
The picture paired work perfect!!!
Lovely Pic and always worth the climb :)
Watch out those neighbors might be asking You to come trim limbs for them in the future :D

Hm, I think they think I'm crazy enough that they might not want to give me a chainsaw for trimming....!
Thank you for your kind encouragement.
