We take them for granted. In the fall they lose their
leaves little by little until the are stripped naked. They
spend the winter being snowed on, blown around by a
cruel wind making we humans shiver in the cold.
Along comes spring and you look out wondering what
happens in their roots where life for them begins
all over again .
I’m talking of the deciduous variety. The maples, the oaks.
Mid- April comes along and you see little hints of greenery
and we sigh to ourselves wondering how that miracle
happens all on its own.
Author’s comment: Thank goodness it does. Over the next
weeks these beautiful trees come back to life right before
our eyes. Without us having a damn thing to do about it.
We count our blessings that we’re alive to see it happen.
