Fragile yet free..

I have always been amazed

and challenged by

 the beauty and fragility

of a bare tree.

Tree is totally vulnerable..

Every detail of tree's being

is made visible...

Tree's brokenness..

as well as tree's strength's...

Leaves and blossoms

 no longer conceal and protect

tree's flaws...scars..and emptiness.

Tree is most real...and genuine.

yet...

There is no shame

or fear...

This is who tree is!

 

Tree...

give me the courage

to be just as real..

and just as genuine..

without the desire

or need

to hide or be ashamed.

Like you

I want to be

Open..Fragile

and  Free...
