i remember being young and wanting to climb trees all of the time. i remember falling from them and getting scratched and scrapped; running home with blood trailing down my legs and arms. i think back on the times i was upset or when everything seemed to be going to shit and i look a few moments ahead of that initial anger and see myself in a tree thinking. sitting on a branch and letting your thoughts roam freely up there is the closest, i feel, that we can get to heaven on this earth. i miss the days when i could just walk out in my front yard and see a big, beautiful tree waiting there for me… i wish i could go back.
