Misty, the leaves have not begun to change here either. The first few lines were written several years ago, and I was remembering them and trying to process the melancholy feeling Nancy, Sherrie, and Jen noted.<br /><br />I wish I were able to reply individually to each of you, but offline life has been busy this week and beckons now. Please do know your names are lifted up to God today. May He pour into your hearts the hope and confidence that every tear will bring forth fruit far exceeding the sorrow.tinuvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06462001159262770932noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86563362162856229.post-63731511385368910942011-10-07T23:22:15.979-05:002011-10-07T23:22:15.979-05:00I read this earlier in the week and did not have t...I read this earlier in the week and did not have time to comment...what beautiful imagery you've captured here. And I love that on the day you were writing about the trees weeping, I was writing about the trees bleeding fiery hope. Both are true and beautiful in their own way. There is the dying and the loss, and the grieving that comes with it, but there is the hope of transformation, rebirth, life made new again--a hope that only matters *because* of the dying that comes first. Thank you for writing. Your word choice here is exquisite.Courtneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08019187519810116317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-86563362162856229.post-37656003171360598612011-10-07T21:21:47.397-05:002011-10-07T21:21:47.397-05:00This is so beautiful, makes me want to stand under...This is so beautiful, makes me want to stand under those weeping trees and catch their tears.
