This year is ending
2020 was horrible, and unexpected, and scary, and uncertain - but tentatively optimistic that it might end better than we expected?
2021 had this way of making the uncertainty more permanent. It sent down roots of fear, deep into our hearts. Joy drained away, and angry geysers sprung up from wells of bitterness. This year had a sinister way of sucking us dry, leaving us in a hope-drought.
It's funny, because the idea of a year ending and a new one beginning is truly just a man-made framework overlay - forcefully structured over the beautiful (and more preferable) flow of nature.
But for a moment yesterday, it was like nature communicated with me, letting me know that it too was happy to see this "dry season" end. I watched a broken tree (much like our near-broken spirits) exhaling a long, overdue sigh of relief that 2021 was finally coming to an end. The tree had been freshly broken, which is what I assume made its "breath" so visible. Its wounds were raw, and open, and vulnerable - not quite sealed with time, sap and hardened bark to protect it from the harsh elements of the world. Sounds a little bit like us, no?
And so for those few moments, we shared the same air in a very visible way. It was nice, connecting with something as timeless as a tree. Reassuring me in its simplistic display, that life goes on - even after we don't.
January 1 IS the start of our new year. However, don't forget that it's also just a little bit like December 32 too. hehehe
It's a beautiful flow, not an abrupt shift. Say goodbye to 2021, and leave it in peace as we embrace 2022 in all of its renewed hope and joy. I'm reminded of THIS SONG and so thankful that no matter if it's a new day, month, or year... His mercies are new every morning.
Hope you enjoy my special moment with that tree... you're welcome to join with us in that collective sigh! β€οΈ Happy New Year! Peace, love, and joy to you all!

Wishing you a prosperous 2022
hehehe thank you!!! hope you found that tree "breathing" refreshing for your soul! hehehehehehe Love, joy, peace for your 2022!
Thank you so much π₯°
Like December 32π,yes, life don't change and stop abruptly. Life continues, I think we only change year but the flow of the days is the same.
Breathing broken tree. Wow, what a finds connection to it. Your deep understanding has stun me. Life goes on yes, even if we don't. People may come and go and I hope I do some value to the people in my life that I exist to.
Much love from the tropics which typhoons are becoming distractive as years pass.
Happy New Year.
hehehe yes!! that breathing broken tree!
I always try to find the lessons all around us - you know? :)
maybe there is even a lesson in the typhoon for us??? hmmm that would be a difficult one right?
but we have wildfires here - and even though they are so destructive - we do see lessons for us here. and they are really beautiful and strong ones
maybe you can find something to share with us with the typhoon? β€οΈ
Have a happy new year - and I hope 2022 will be typhoon free for you!!! π
On my previous post, I wrote something about the strongest typhoon that my place has experience.
Oh, now I realize about the 'breathing broken tree'. On that devastating event, many coconut trees and most trees in our place has fallen down, to the extent where people need to hop on the streets just to get to town. If coconut trees are dying human, I don't know if I can stand watching them catching there last breaths.

Oh my, this was lovely. I am at a loss for words...I was walking in my baby woods last week and found myself kinda wanting to commune with the trees, thinking about the symbiosis in nature that I was witness to and considering the symbiotic relationship between humans and trees (I kid you not!!!), and I was going to do a Wednesday walk post on it...but life happened...then I thought...mmm Sublime Sunday, I can pop it there...didn't happen...Wednesday Walk again...DID NOT HAPPEN π€£ROTFL Then I saw this post of yours yesterday and it just made me smile so much... so I said to Jack, let's go see what we can find in the woods. He was so in awe of your breathing tree but his main takeaway was:
When I told him you also live on top of a mountain he was seriously smiling the biggest smile hehe
So we went for a walk New Years Day late afternoon, just me and my 8 year old, in our baby woods. It was abnormally warm here, for the middle of winter...around 16 degrees C, I think they said for London on New Years Day! so we must be similar. We didn't find any breathing trees, but we did find something which we thought was quite special and got Jack super excited...
...Now you'll have to go check out my post when it goes up lol...or I might DM you a sneak previewπ
hahahahahahahaha ohhhhhhhh I want your whole family to come visit my whole forest so you can have it to yourselves too hehehee
and yes - I would so enjoy your post - DM me the sneak preview for sure! hehehehehe
it was really the first time i saw a "breathing" tree. and the weird thing is - with my eyes - i could clearly see how that tree was broken in half
but on the video - the branches blurred with the tree - so you can't really see where the tree is broken - you can just see the "breath"
i don't know why! hahahahaha
It was breathing alright ...but it looked quite content πhehe maybe one day... I'll bring the whole fam... we'll come find you wherever you may be...with the minimum 3 weeks notice! π€£π
Yeah! I saw the tree breathing π . Happy new year
hehehehe now you can say that you've seen something this spectacular! hahahaha

But so far... 2023 has been like the skies breaking open with a burst of sunshine after a storm!!!

I hope that you will also find treasures in this beautiful year of ours!!!
2022 was a breakdown to breakthrough kind of year for me. It was tough as hell, but turned out quite beautiful in the end π
2023 so far seemsβ¦ slow π Will see if it speeds up and bring some adventures π
Saw it the first time, but you kept on pointing it out like we are blind or smth..hahaha
You sure there is no one behind that tree holding a stick on fireπ....we demand a 360-degree view lol.π
Happy new year to you.
trust me.. if @dreemsteem was behind the tree with a stick on fire .. the tree would be on fire.. she considers herself the grim reaper of plants.. imagine what she can do with trees.
haha...didn't know that.
ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLlll very very true LOL
ROFLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL i know - when I was watching the video and i was like - oh i pointed it out a lot. hahaha
but when i was in my house i was like WELL I SEE IT. hahahaha but i'm not sure if THEY can see it. you know how sometimes you're pointing something out to someone and you keep saying ITS RIGHT THERE. and they still can't see it hahahahahaha
so i wasn't sure how clear it was on the video - so you got a finger point - a black circle, a red circle and a red arrow hahahahahahahaahaha
wasn't that the coolest thing though? hahaha no one could be behind the tree because the tree is about 35 feet off the ground hahahaha I'm recording that from my 2nd story patio ROFLLLLLLLLLLLl
LOLOL happy new year to you as well :)
Only missing a 10x zoom...LOL
Btw, that was so cool to see. Never knew trees could smokeπ. Guess we all learn new things every day....right?... hahaha
no no no... my trees live in california.
it's a non-smoking tree! LOL
that is pure fresh oxygen being given off for my glorious inhalation! hahahahaa
i think it happened the same way when we breath warm air into cold air.... it was just giving off air that was warmer than the surrounding air so it looked like cool vapor hehehee
love it :)
(and that was like a 7 x zoom LOLOLOLOL)
what if the smoke/vapor was the tree's soul living his body due to the cold...LOL, ever considered that?
Or the tree was possessed and the ghost needs a new victim now...hahaha
hahahahaha it might be the tree's blessing for meeeeeeeeeee
Okay... I give upπ
Happy 2022
woo hooo im ready for it - are you? happy new year to you! hehe
