   I say…let’s ask a sapling that has found life because of that wonderful refracting, reflecting, nourishing light. shall we?
   Just beautiful Susan…you find the poem in all things!

     Thanks so much, Rhonda. I really think sometimes the poem in all things finds me, not the other way around….especially ones like these that hit and must be written, almost on autopilot.

   how does something timeless
   feel so new?

   Timelessness is a quality of beauty and energy! Beauty and energy renew!

   And yes, all life seeks light – plants especially, where movement is in two directions – a deepening penetration of the roots into the earth and a reaching out to embrace the sun, both movements mutually reinforcing. The more the sapling reaches to the sun, the deeper its roots enter the earth, and the more it also becomes adept at reaching out to the sun – Joyous and amazing phototropism – the outcome of a beautiful mixture of biology, chemistry and physics – a beauty which Susan captures in this short poem.

     thanks, Noel! I am so drawn to the natural world, the lessons it can teach us if we watch…
