I love this mossy even though/perhaps because- it is utterly melancholic!

Now that freckle has introduced a Trees topic into the thread :D
Think Like a Tree
Soak up the sun
Affirm life's magic
Be graceful in the wind
Stand tall after a storm
Feel refreshed after it rains
Grow strong without notice
Be prepared for each season
Provide shelter to strangers
Hang tough through a cold spell
Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring
Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky
Be still long enough to
hear your own leaves rustling.

Hey I really like that. Welcome 'home' Freckle.
thanks mossy......
a fine day to be off and running...bout time I reacquainted myself with my best friend....
Ankles rankle
On sun dried clags
And in the mid day hour
A body relearns
the identification.
Cadence akin
to a necessary core
waxing and waning
but always returning
to movement (love).
Love it Freckle! Great to see you back. I know the feeling, am really loving my running at the moment and have been enjoying longer distances and adventures. Had a gorgeous run out yesterday. It was one of those days that you know will be etched in your memory forever (even falling and chinning myself didn't dampen my spirits :) ).
Good to see you back freckle, hope you enjoyed your break. And Hes, you have become Fell Hard:thumbup:
Loveliest of Trees:)
Loveliest of trees, the cherry now
Is hung with bloom along the bough,
And stands about the woodland ride
Wearing white for Eastertide.
Now, of my threescore years and ten,
Twenty will not come again,
And take from seventy springs a score,
It only leaves me fifty more.
And since to look at things in bloom
Fifty springs are little room,
About the woodlands I will go
To see the cherry hung with snow.
