No longer living.
No longer growing.
Yet reaching out
with open arms.
Stretching upwards.
Remaining strong.
Still holding on
for seasons to come.
A reminder to me.
Perhaps to you too.
Never give up
no matter what we face.
Blue skies await.

Your morning glories are WONDERFUL! I bought a package! Too early to plant here but I hope mine are as lovely as yours!

Great picture Jill. I think some dead trees are so very pretty.....
Strong roots run deep don't they?

Hi Jill, When I see a tree, I often think of all that it has witnessed...the stories it could tell. Seeing your tree makes this old tree hugger a little sad, but I'm sure this tree spread it's seeds far and wide. New life will grow from it... a perfect story for this Holy week. Love, Penny
Great words of advice. I'm getting to say something like this everyday as I visit my best friend from high school who has Lupus and is in therapy for her third broken bone.
Hi Jill, such beautiful photos on your beautiful blog!!!! That tree is amazing, and I never thought about it that way...broken but not destroyed!!! Powerful!! Thanks for your kind words, and I will be popping over to be inspired by all the beautiful photos you take!!! God bless!!
