Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

The tree which moves some to tears of joy is in the eyes of others only a green thing that stands in the way.

William Blake

As the Sun Sets...

    ’tis very true.

    Applies to people too.

    Indeed. And others see furniture and shelter. Ain’t life and perspectives varied. :)

    Trees
    I think that I shall never see
    A poem lovely as a tree.

    A tree whose hungry mouth is prest
    Against the earth’s sweet flowing breast;

    A tree that looks at God all day,
    And lifts her leafy arms to pray;

    A tree that may in summer wear
    A nest of robins in her hair;

    Upon whose bosom snow has lain;
    Who intimately lives with rain.

    Poems are made by fools like me,
    But only God can make a tree.

    Joyce Kilmer

    I guess this is when we say “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder!” Indeed.

    Sounds like a good slogan for the Green party! ;)

    Isn’t this so true…when we are truly in touch with nature, we see a thing of beauty…and a most important part of life on this planet.

    great image. i like the variation of the tree from a stout trunk all the way to fine slender twiggy branches, all against the light.
