we seek symbolism
in the high wind
and the decrepit walnut tree.
what’s coming
seems obvious.
we’re braced for
breakage and fall —
and then, it stands!
the question now is
what’s the right miracle
for us to emulate here:
the wind relenting,
or the tree unyielding?

irresistible force meets immovable object…………….I used to want to be the force……….not I’m turning into to the tree.
Seasons, not choices.
