Tree
A Thoughtpiece
Stand Still
Look up at the branches of the tree and follow them on a journey of wonder, so many that you cannot count and every one a fount of new life.
Trees can protect us from the hot sun as they cast their shadow or the falling rain to keep us dry
In Summer they are swathed in beautiful green leaves that turn gold in Autumn and are bare in Winter showing us their organic circuit of life.
To touch a tree and feel its skin of bark, you become closer to nature and fill yourself with earthly calm.
Look again at those branches, follow from one to another, knowing that this is how Gaiia helps life endure.
The rain falls and feeds the roots of the tree, the tree drinks and grows, sprouting leaves, branches, berries, fruit and seeds to spread across our world.
Stand, look, and follow those branches and feel your soul lifted and let your heart fly with nature.

HAL
Everyone was now making bone blades and stripping the threads from their mouths. When a window appeared two helped another push through to what they hoped would be freedom and redemption from this hell hole. The voice said "STOP", the flames shot down, but everyone was in control of themselves now so did not end up as one of the charred piles.

The Cave Part 1
"What happened to me?" The question hung in the air, damp and hollow as it was. I felt the closeness of the walls, solid and deep. There was no echo. No hope that a simple voice could impede the silent dark. It surrounded me, gathered up and rolled over me with a blanket of complete forgetfulness. I was gone. Dead. To all who knew me, lost years ago. This is what happens to bones. This is what happens to those buried and left to lie beneath the earth until the end of time.
