It is true
that you shall know
a tree
by its fruit.
However,
you can also know it
by its roots.
Fruits can easily fall
and petals of its flowers
can be blown away
by the wind
but if the tree
still stands tall,
know that its roots
are deep
and therefore,
it will still enjoy
many new beginnings
with each passing season.

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.
