Nature’s Cup Runneth Over, We Can Take Sips
Everywhere I go, I can’t help but feel like the trees are waving to me. It’s almost like they are encouraging me — applauding me as their leaves shimmer in the summer breeze and their lightest branches bob up and down with excitement. Every window I glance out of, there they are, greeting me with the brightest and warmest dance. Every tree-lined road I drive down, they line up alongside to wave me on, for miles and miles, every last fiber of their being is waving and dancing and jumping to and fro in the golden sunbeams, hardly able to contain their excitement at the opportunity to hold my attention for just a passing moment. As I pass one by, waving and dancing and shimmering in all its glory, it shouts to the next tree in line, “Here she comes!” and every tree down the line just bounces in frenzy and fervor, buzzes with pleasure and pure joy. I’m not sure what I’ve done to deserve such a warm welcome, but it’s unfailing.
