Stories In the Wood

Cracked and gnarled I carry the history of Earth in my body. Like others, each crevice contains a secret, each curve and whorl, contains a novel; my burl is the soul bearing the weight of this burden. As I gather my stories, growing, learning, I store them for sharing. Look at me and read with your spirit.

We each carry our history in our curves and whorls. Great missive.
