In the Sahara desert, a lone acacia tree
Stands tall and proud, with its branches free
It endures the scorching sun and blowing sand
A symbol of resilience in this barren land
Its leaves are few, its bark is rough
But it stands strong, it's had enough
Of the harsh conditions that it must face
It's a survivor, a true desert ace
Despite the odds, it manages to thrive
A testament to the will to survive
It provides shade and shelter to all who seek
A beacon of hope in a land so bleak
So here's to you, acacia tree
A symbol of strength and bravery
You stand tall and proud, in the Sahara's heat
A reminder that beauty can be found, even in defeat

Thoughts on Vocal and the way the world is
"Death cannot stop true love, only delay it." – Wesley in The Princess Bride. I decided to come back to Vocal on a very cold and dark night at the end of December. I had been, and still am, convalescing from a horrible staph infection that had gone misdiagnosed for months. This, paired with the increasing challenges of being healthy, making the best choices for my co-parented child, being a wife, and being a director at a new job, was a lot to manage.
