aged

and here i am

still tearing along on this

‘catch up with my clutter’ jag.

as i sort through things i remember

and clear out things i don’t even remember ever wanting,

i am reminded of my love of bark.

not the audible dog kind,

but the

”i can see the life of this ancient tree in it’s outer layer’ kind.

*

*

now i would like to have something meaningful and deep to say

but i am at a loss, actually lost in the history

that these trees have stood next to

and silently watched unfold.

the creation awes me.

‘ancient’ taken from 119:52 in the psalms
