To be a tree is to be beyond articulation. That act of being - the branching skyward, the harmony with the cycle of seasons, the rich entanglement with the earth - cannot be understood by any being other than the tree. Even between the oak and the maple the exchange is foreign. The mysteries and pleasures of being an oak is left to the oak alone: isolated; exquisite; unique.

The Love Tree
The Love Tree

To love you is to love beyond articulation. Love has no common tongue - there are descriptions for feelings, yes - all descriptions are tied to experience, all are strung from different points of a language in constant flux. My love has not been an experience of love; it has been an experience of you. It has no words. It can only be known by the tree: harmonious; entangled; branching skyward.

Take care, keep safe, and stay beautiful,

With love and peace,
