Around me the trees stir in their leaves and call out, Stay awhile.

I can relate to this. I also had a childhood place full of trees that I'm afraid have now been cut down. I also avoid discovery of the truth and keep them alive in my mind. Beautiful writing. Thanks for sharing.

We lived in trees too. I kept on climbing trees into adulthood until my knees said no. There is something about being up a tree that is incredibly safe and comforting. I think the rocking movement of the branches in the wind might remind us of the cradle. Thank you for reminding me. ♥
