My childhood thinking tree in City Park, New Orleans


 City Park, New Orleans, LA
City Park Sculpture Garden
Posted by PicasaBoth of these trees are in the City Park area within 100 yards of one another.
I am so grateful that the second image from the sculptor, Rene' Margitte, has not been the fate of my childhood thinking tree. The oak tree from my childhood has many branches that reach and linger upon the ground. It is such an easy climbing tree.

When things were too much to handle at home, I walked the mile and a half to the park and sat on and under this tree. No apps to distract me, just the tree. I know that this tree has harbored many souls like me.

I am most grateful for this wise old soul. Visiting her reminds me to not take myself too seriously. When is the last time you gave yourself time to rest under the limbs of a majestic tree?

This summer solstice invites you outside to sit and enjoy yourself.

Peace.
