I went walking in the wintery woods today,
After having been in and sick for going on 10 days now.
It was a breath of fresh air, literally.
I had a moment with the snow on a pine tree,
And remembered when I used to love going out to the backyard
When it snowed, to shake the snow off the pine branches,
Taking my own little snow shower.
I now see how the importance of being in nature,
Has stemmed back to my childhood.
I feel lucky to have grown up in the hilltowns,
In the trees.
So whenever I get down,
About my progress in life as a "professional whatever,"
I will remember the simple joy of shaking snow
Off of pine trees.
