Also loved your comment about a snow field generating its own voice. I especially noticed that on the ranch in Wyoming, where the landscape varied so much and created unique drifts and waves, windblown expanses and soft, deep draws. Each resonated with a different sound when one walked, or when the wind traveled across the land. So beautiful.

Your phrase, "Carry the weight of your desires" is a powerful idea and I wonder how often we ask that of the world, and how seldom we recognize when our desires are fulfilled, so quick are we to move on to new ones.Pagehttp://www.pagelambert.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608134443246627504.post-84822316584263739222010-12-20T13:33:34.068-07:002010-12-20T13:33:34.068-07:00LOVELY Page, thank you.

Best in image is the Angel floating above.<br /><br />Loved poem on the white silence of newly fallen snow. New fallen, fresh snow truly does dampen out the forest and life sounds for its moment in being, while earth ground life sleeps beneath. Later, of course, a snow field generates it's own voice - songs, laughter, creaks, cries and moans. Like the wind.<br /><br />Speaking of trees and forests, did you see this week's NOVA PBS on Fractals and Nature's Geometries? It's far more than leaves, nautili, snowflakes, water drops, crystals and icicles etc. Measuring circumferences of tree trunks in a forest, they fall into the same pattern by size as the relationship of branches to the trunk of its tree parts. <br /><br />So the forest itself is a fractal iteration of each and all the branching trees in it. <br /><br />This pattern should not be disrupted in selecting individual trees, or better clumps of trees, to be sacrificed for sake of forest health itself, without fire. <br /><br />Perhaps tree clump distribution pattern itself may manage how the fire leaps and destroys, allowing the new growth again to rise in sequenced fractal iterations?<br /> <br />Mary EstillMary Estillnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6608134443246627504.post-6867439309278620892010-12-16T19:46:24.997-07:002010-12-16T19:46:24.997-07:00Beautiful article, Page.

I love what you did...did not ask those little trees to carry the weight of your desires, but allowed them to hold the space instead.

I really liked the NPR Morning Edition recently that explored the question: which is more environmentally responsible, plastic trees that can be reused, or real trees that are biodegradable and drink up carbon.

And thank you, also, for the generous words. I'm lucky to be able to spend a lot of time with trees, too.
