raking out  Jack's feed shed.     i stopped to sit and rest.    then      to follow  the Breath,  i thought,  for just a few minutes but i drifted off to sleep      and   Woke     probably just moments later,  i don't really know                  Sun was falling upon the  old great pine that is maybe 3 or so feet in front of me,    and  it was as if     it    ,  the Tree,   had somehow moved even closer   and  i saw Its bark…….Skin…..and really    SAW it……as in,    felt      it                  if you click to enlarge and then move up and down,  over       you might be able to feel the sense of the Beingness of this Tree    that is at least 100 years old   and  in these moments,   Alive
