Tree trunk texture

Years of texture

In the dying light of a day that’s now been consigned to history, a maple tree pauses for its moment.

The scene, the one where light from afar paints a textured scene that is felt as much as it is seen, has been playing out night after night, for the 4 or 5 decades this tree has been growing here. And if all is right in the world, it’ll hopefully continue for many decades to come.

There’s no telling how many of these dying-light moments have been witnessed by passers-by, or how many simply played out silently ignored.

I’d like to think the tree left its own indelible mark on those who encountered it.

I’d like to think it had some kind of significance to others.

I’d also like to think it isn’t just trees that can imprint themselves on strangers.

I’d like to think we could all be a little more like the trees.
