tree speed... future friday

I have been thinking about age and time a lot lately as I see such rapid development in the little Poppy Seed, and thinking about Oma turning 90 this year. They are at such opposite ends of their life spans, but both are so limited in their mobility and deserving of such care and tenderness. And both are connected across so many miles and so many decades through my relationship with each of them.

I love the term of tree speed in juxtaposition to the hurtling breakneck speed of our modern, technology-crazed world. I aim to soak up these fleeting moments with slower breaths and remaining more present.

That being sad, the Rhodies are just at their peak, and they are glorious!
