What She Told Me

I may look stagnant, but every piece of me is moving. I cling tight to the nutrients that flow through me. I'm not like you guys, when the rain 
comes you call up the sunshine to fight that frown. I take both and sink my roots deep. 
I am the tree, and I only take what I need.

A profound write, Zane! A great affinity to this tree. Sometimes it needs both to prosper and grow. Best wishes, Mikki

Too bad we all don't follow the example of the tree...a nice, gentle reminder...
