Reclaiming Bits of Eden

Some see a scrubby, stunted wood; the pure heart sees a pond. A vision cast into the could - the gift to look beyond… And though the plan has not converged quite fully in my head, I simply can’t resist the urge to rend, uproot, and shred. Reclaiming bits of Eden, I clear out the brambled vines. Creation and destruction, by this, briefly are aligned.
