Maple
tree connects Earth and Sky just to the Northeast of the cabin. The
top of Maple is dead. About ten feet up the trunk, Maple has sprouted
new branches. In my culture, I am taught that trees stand blind and
dumb, available to be harvested to fulfill my needs. The ability to
spontaneously grow branches in response to peril seems to contradict
this idea.
This
gets me thinking about the mythologies I have been indoctrinated into
that shape my expectations. Today, I will be paying attention through
those mythologies to experiences that exist just on the other side of
what they would have me believe.
