There’s a tree at 2305 Speedway, the home I grew up in, that still bears the carvings I engraved into it as young boy.
That tree is now a metaphor that I think about quite often.
Few things will carve deeper into the souls we cross, the moments we experience, and the days we’re given than the music we create and offer back to the universe.
And while we’re on the subject of trees, here’s a beautiful writing on the slow and enlightening beauty that trees give us.
