Thinking Motif

There a sense of the abstract and illusory made substantial here. What is a tree? Something solid and living, but shifting and rooted.

This taken-for-granted background supplies the oxygen we breathe. Self-sufficient, they require only our "gazing" with appreciative eyes on their essential nature.

The fire-starter hacks and burns regardless. I like the way the poem inspires a double-take, a sensory renewal....Rgds., Alan.
