leaves & trees

This morning as I was on the highway
driving home I almost thought I was going
the wrong way, soon realized it was the trees
they had begun to leaf out. it is amazing to me how
quickly things can change and how dormant the winter really
is. I started to think about how soon I would seek shelter from
the sun. I also started to think about moments from my past where i
found myself sitting at the foot of a tree. I climbed trees when i was young all the time, in fact we had an apple tree in front of our house that had a perfect branch for me to perch. that was a special place where clear thoughts came to me. I wonder if I drove back to that very tree, would it still be there, would it remember me.
