Feathering down to blanket earth
Crimson, yellow, and gold
Adieu, farewell, waves wilting leaves
Signals of looming cold
Still quilted in fall tapestry
Sheltered forests below
Give hints of pine green corridors
Hidden paths nature knows
Spring rebirths new lush canopies
Dormant trees bud new wear
The circle of life now complete
Our straight path we must bare
THE SECRET OF THE TREES – SYNOPSIS
Autumn in the mountains of western North Carolina is tantamount to attending a royal coronation. The regally robed trees relinquish their covering to reveal a large maze of evergreen corridors in the forest below. Home to numerous wildlife, the forest bed weathers the harsh winter’s freeze and then retreats under the hidden canopy of the towering trees come spring. This completes the circle of life in the mountains. Mindfulness illuminates this inspiring cyclical occurrence. It makes one aware of the contrast between nature’s rebirth and our linear journey on this earth. The message is clear….There is no dress rehearsal or rerun for us. Live well!
