                              This tree caught my attention on my walk last week.....
                            brave beauty seems enhanced by a certain vulnerability.


                                                       
I stare at it's bare and gnarled limbs, feeling a strange connection to it's condition.
I study it's offering,trying to figure out what kind it is.

                                                                     


                                    Fruit clings and holds on, even though the tree is bare.
                                                                   It offers and gives. 

                                                               


                                       For it isn't wealth that makes us generous,
                                           It's generosity that makes us wealthy.






 Aren't nature's lessons always the most profound?

  1. beautiful. I love the last lines: it isn't wealth that makes us generous, it's generosity that makes us wealthy. So true.

  3. Hi Lucy!
    Love this!
    And yes, it's so true, natures' lessons are the most profound.
    I have to ask you...when I respond to your comments on my blog Lucy, do you receive them?
    I'm just uncertain because it always shows as if its going somewhere else.
    Can you send me your email address so I can put it in my files? ;)
    Thanks!

    All my heart,
    Deborah

  5. Lucy, what observation and truth in your wisdom today! Those last two lines are 'priceless'. Beautiful photos to illustrate your gesture, as always.

    Happy Thanksgiving, to you, too!
