Trees by gripspix (OFF)

Spaces.

My thanks to poets M. Rilke,
R. Dowden and Kahlil Gibran.


In showing love I hold this as
best means
That each stand, at times,
a little away
And allow others a difference
to breathe.
Harmony's chord is perfected
this way.

Consonance comes not only
through union,
As solitude's need, if allowed,
will reveal.
Mystic the peace when trust
molds a future.
Trees grow the better with
spaces between.

The last two lines echo what is said in Gibran's "The Prophet". I applaud the acknowledgement that spaces between the trees (and people) allow for growth and a heightened appreciation of our respective uniqueness. In a broader sense, well-spent solitude enables us to love more truly and more deeply. Thanks, Fay.

I agree with this Fay. Together and apart art both equally important, and all the more delightful when blended.

So true Fay as space can give us time to be creative and connect to the essence. I adore Kahlil Gibran with all his wisdom~

Harmony's chord is getting harder to find and almost impossible to play. Your friend in words, Pete
