To be held
by the light
was what I wanted,
to be a tree drinking the rain,

Yes me too. 🙂
that’s all –
Nice thought, to be a tree, but then how would I get my novels written?
Electronically! Save the trees!
Yes, the twigs would be my fingers. I just need someone to hand me a laptop, since I can’t run down to the store.

Sounds like wanting to be Acknowledged and Nourished…and to experience a perspective of whole, oneness…in the element of nature…
Yes…
