this sweet child of mine is vibrant, and all the more singular dancing along with these longstanding oaks like gods that surround us in our woods. It’s here we play, where we activate and expand, where the magic unfolds. We don’t bother with the hypnotic force that tells us otherwise. We know better; we feel it. We’ll hang out here, while the revelation unfurls and allow yet another political, royal and spiritual leader prove their failure in their finite god-fearing selves. Trust yourself and don’t topple with them. What you want exists within you; don’t settle until you get it. Soon this plot of land will be blanketed by new life as spring peeks into the lingering winter and yield its grand rising as it does every year. May you saturate yourself with your own vitality to enjoy the virtues that your imagination fancies even as the world turns.

yes they are colossal and we feel it when they fall. I prefer them when they are green, but they are vibrant in the fall.

The ones that fall into the pool are routinely scooped out. All others are blown over the hillside. When we hike through them, they come up to my knees.

Wow! How fun! (The hiking part, not the pool part. 🙂

Yes, as long as there’s no snow and before the poison ivy starts growing it’s an adventure in these parts. I’m not that adventurous in these depths with the first signs of the above.

Looking at the picture again, I realize, no. That would be absurd!

While we do rake a bit, mostly they are blown down the hillside. It’s an ongoing event that once the first leave falls instantaneously they come down steadily and fully bare just in time to get full sun when it does pop out and warms the nest. When branches are abundant with leaves in summer, it keeps us cooler, couldn’t love them more for this.
