When I gaze out over the field
and spot a herd of elk, which
upon closer inspection
is really only distant
sagebrush; when I, in a flash
lasting no longer than a
millisecond, see my own body
as a juniper tree, I no longer
question it;
We are all made of the same
elements derived from this earth,
and I can be forgiven if I confuse
a log for a prairie dog's alert body,
facing toward the sun,
a Muslim bowing toward Mecca.

Tubularsock can totally relate.
And is now contemplating why you
have such grand visions but when
Tubularsock looks out for a millisecond
Tubularsock only sees a toadstool.
So Tubularsock eats it …………
OHHHH, now I see.
Have a great new year!
Ha!! And once eaten, one cannot unsee any longer. 😉 have a better new year! 🥳❤️
Thank you for this Bela 💛 I can see you as juniper.
Heh heh. Me too for sure. ❤️
You say juniper, I say Gin!
Of Course you do! 😂 Happy new year to both of you! 🎉
I can relate to this! ❤
Good! 💓
