from roots to buds. from buds to leaves.

Talk about the miracle of life.


I saw this tree hold its weak branches up during the naked, cold winter days. 
I saw this tree's branches shiver under the blanket of white snow.
I walked past it every day.


Once, I was running late to my class and saw little buds in different stages of flowering.
I stopped.
The light green leaves paused each day at a rapid growth. 
Some leaves peaked through their buds completely, and some remained shelled in.


Today, I strolled alongside this lovely tree and saw it completely green.
Those fighting green leaves grew and budded out!
What a miracle! The miracle of life. It's absolute beauty. creation. development. 

wish I could paint this tree and its shadow.
