I dropped peace in a still pool And saw no ripples spreading, The world grew Glad around me, The trees silent, The sky endless grey In quiet content. Behind the cloud, the sun and moon and stars Still #chase across the sky- This year, at least, we can wait for leaves unfurling. #vss365

When we moved here the forest came right up our home. Thick pines cast long shadows over my neighborhood, swaying and creaking when the wind picked up. That was my escape. Twenty years later and the forests are gone, replaced by endless rows of cheap, luxury houses.
