“Trees are an invitation to think about time and to travel in it the way they do, by standing still and reaching out and down.”
In response to Rebecca Solnit, the body responds to the imagined invitations from various trees in the forest garden.
the garden embraces
thoughts
trees wrap sadness
hide scars
distract and heal
and absorb
into their underground
conversations
tangled within their branches
swaying within their gentle dance
