We’ve known each other
a while please pardon me
I’ve never asked your name
Bridget
she whispered to me
Interesting
I don’t know nor am I close to a
Bridget
A quick Google search
Power
Strength
Vigor
Virtue
Our stories mesh
I placed her in the ground
a half decade ago
not sure if she’d survive
Palo Verde trees
don’t typically thrive
The elevation too high
She was nearly destroyed
by a storm
some three years ago
Nearly ripping her in half
Her trunk not much more
than a stick
At a time I felt the same
Ripped apart and nearly destroyed
I asked this tree
Today what wisdom
do you have
for me
Balance
Trust
Grief
Growth
Passion
Truth
Well done
Keep going
You are Loved
Bridget is now 3x larger
than the other native trees
I must have some incredible pee
Trees speak
Nature speaks
Into and through
Your heart
The seat of your
Soul
If you don’t believe
Ask the mycelium
Inquire with the elephant
Question the Acacia
Converse with the giraffe
They’ll fill you in
