gRavity
By John Terpstra

A tree is the perfect foil to gravity; gravity and its insidious ability
to make that sweet pull downward at the end of the day seem like
desire.
Fruit falls from the branch, as do leaves, so we know at least
that a tree too is subject to the law.
But with all its force and strength a tree goes unequivocally
in two directions at once. Poised at ground level, it finds the air
above free and unexplored and the earth liquid with possibility.
The greater the pressure gravity exerts upon it, the stronger and
more obstinate it grows. A tree refuses any single, overweening
influence.
While living in complete compliance.
As one who is called both to the centre of the earth and to the
sun.



I think we had a similar thought...but he put my words more eloquently.
