Hold on to what is good even if it is a handful of earth.

Hold on to what you believe even if it is a tree which stands by itself.

Hold on to what you must do even if it is a long way from here.

Hold on to life even when it is easier letting go.

Hold on to my hand even when I have gone away from you.

Ode to a Tree

Hi Adele,
I have been going through my old things and I found this lovely book, that I must have picked up a garage sale somewhere. I thought you might like a peek at it through the blog.

It's a sweet bit of prose with delicate images by Gwen Frostic. It shares the beauty and balance of a woodland setting.
Here are a few of my favourite pages.






The book ends with a kind of ode to a tree.








I think I'll set this book in my give away pile now so that someone new can enjoy it.

Thinking of you today and our shared delight in the pages of a beautiful book,
Nicole
