Hail Tree Tuesday!

in #treetuesday5 years ago (edited)

In the deepening spring of May, I had no choice but to recognize the trembling of my heart. It usually happened as the sun was going down. In the pale evening gloom, when the soft fragrance of magnolias hung in the air, my heart would swell without warning, and tremble, and lurch with a stab of pain. I would try clamping my eyes shut and gritting my teeth, and wait for it to pass. And it would pass –but slowly, taking its own time, and leaving a dull ache behind.
― Haruki Murakami, Norwegian Wood

Their scent is truly like an obscene phone call from nature itself. And just like that, it's beauty is gone.

I adore the beauty of our world, the uniqueness of nature, the sacred scents of the earth. Oh, how I love thee. It is with such pleasure that I put out some trees, some flowers, and very soon I promise, the buzzing of bees. It is such a pleasure to join in #TreeTuesday with @old-guy-photos. Show me your trees!

My faithful friend, standing like a century in my life, winter or summer, it never takes a day off... from being a tree.

The fact that the dance of the Cherry Trees is over makes me a little bit sad, but I do know that next year, they will appear once again, dragging me out of the winter and into the spring. Fare thee well, my beauty.

The clouds make the best backdrop to my day, dotting the sky, or waving their palms in the breeze, saying goodbye. How can we dispute our love for the tree, wherever it's planted, wherever it be? Hail the loveliness of trees!

We interrupt this #TreeTuesday for a moment or three...

You can never find the right picture when you need it. Am I right? This was meant for #BoulderSunday by @Shasta, but, for the life of me, I couldn't find a rock. Until I did. Better late than never? Except in horseshoes and hand grenades. That is how I learned it as a kid.

Is it wrong to post a Christmas Tree on #TreeTuesday? Maybe it is the warmth emerging from my heart on this beautiful day. I want to post something that brings that feeling to people. It seems most can produce that feeling at will during that time of year. So, yes. Take a tree. Now give me some peace on earth, goodwill towards man.

The simplest gesture can give you the greatest pleasure. Oh, for the simplicity of a smile. It feels oh-so-wonderful. Give one, get one – for free.

I always post this poem down at the bottom of my posts. It is one that has become so near and dear to my heart. I only post the most famous part of it, but, wanted to post it in its entirety today.

they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

Those are some marvelous trees! We will certainly allow a Christmas tree, but only as long as it is accompanied by a beautiful selfie Lelelele! What a lovely scene! Vitamin Sea always looks soo good on you. Just sayin!

Heyyyy! You are stealing my Vitamin Sea line! ;)

I only steal from the best!

Gorgeous tree Images, and magical writing to go with them you have a way that makes words flow. And almost sing as one reads them

Lovely, lovely trees today Denise :) Those cherry blossoms are unreal, so delicate and fragile looking. You are so fortunate to be able to see them each spring even though they are here for such a short time. Crazy beautiful beach, are you there now? Love it!

I loved it all. I just realized I have no idea what a magnolia smells like. I wonder if they grow here.

Another poetry, this time in prose. Everything you write becomes poetry, woman-specific poetry. I love the amalgam of tree images ... I'm very humble to announce that I will copy you!

Well not poetry exactly oh, I think that is just the way I write, and women's specific made me laugh. Because, of course you are right when I sat down and read it again.

There is just something so beautiful about trees, isn't there? Especially in the spring. Thank you for stopping by and leaving you're always wonderful words. I hope you have a wonderful day and it rewards you with awesome weather.

Thank you! Of course, the trees are wonderful. The idea of initiating this challenge was a great intuition. Congratulations to @old-guy-photos! Sixty years ago I managed to not be an envious man ... now I saw with sadness that here in Steemit I started to envy certain people.
I haven't been in #treetuesday lately. First of all, I haven't received any feedback from the initiator. Probably @old-guy-photos is bored or more interested in his new challenges, but I think that everyone must do as you do, that a challenge initiator needs to read and support the posts of those who participate. I know very well that it's hard, the harder when the participation is massive, but that's what I find mandatory.
Today I posted again because of you. I didn't do much, I'm not happy with the result, but I'm far from being in a good shape.
