TREE TALK
Confessions of a Zen Cherry Tree
cherry and pear and
eucalyptus splitting
a little bit at a time...
The trees around here
and I know
a thing or two
about life.
The Spirit Tree copes by shedding
skin all the way naked
as if to say
to hell with it,
I’m getting rid of this old costume,
trading it in for whatever comes
not caring that the next covering
may be even less comfortable.
Homo
sapiens sapiens
they say are highest order
living things
in this and the next universe.
Plato had his doubts.

tree talk....with the death of a child in Florida the trees may be just what the doctor ordered to get us engaged in white privilege, and resulting racism that is so hard for white folks to engage.....other then....I am not a racist.....time to own up bro and for us to engage....so there is something to it when we are directed to find a tree and hug it.....good news...
