Thou hast given so much to me,
Give me one thing more – a grateful heart;
Not thankful when it pleaseth me,
As if Thy blessings had spare days;
But such a heart whose pulse may be
Thy praise.
Trees are an invitation to think about time and to travel in it the way they do, by standing still and reaching out and down.
~ Rebecca Solnit in ORWELL'S ROSES
