“Spring Unveiling”

Everyday we work in solitude.  Creativity is the name of the game here in the woods.  We grow and stretch and thrive like giant wilder beasts in the forests, pushing new shoots and leaves whenever we want.  Well, that’s not exactly true, you see, we have a contract with the seasons; there are four of them these days.  Us trees have to follow this protocol or we are banned from the forest.  It’s not as bad as you think, we have a really good life, I mean we are not rushing to go anywhere.  We never get stuck in traffic.  No, we get to stay put and set up shop right here, forever.  I wish you folks could do the same and spend more time with us.  Where are you rushing too?

My favorite season is Spring.  We dropped all our leaves a few months earlier and now here we are radiant and glorious in our splendor.  Imagine that!  Being bald is a strange concept.  We are not cold during the winter despite the fact we lost our jackets.  And now we have turned a new leaf.  The wise tree picks a color and we follow like birds in flight.

The sun in our friend.  We grow higher and higher into the brilliant blue to bathe in her warmth.  But don’t worry!  Our long shadows are cast for you.  They glitter and POP and if you turn from side to side they sparkle in your eyes to show you we will always be close.  Remember to look in the shadows.  This is the start of your spring unveiling.
