Framing One's Perspective


     There's a dead tree in the view.  It's just as tall as its living neighbor, but green no more.  How one looks at a dead tree, feels about it, may be important.  That tree has held that spot for many years and for now there is a dead tree in a very lovely view.





It has reminded me that life cycles are not neat, the comings and goings are unexpected and then the view is changed.


   



It's important not to consider the view imperfect.  
There are so many young trees striving to get established...

A favorite way of writing.


I was oblivious to and yet comforted by the surrounds...a dear friend took this picture of me.
Away for a few days at a mountain retreat I found myself free to be writing.
Where do you like to write?
