i recently cut myself
with a sharp knife
while manipulating apple trees
how much compassion I felt
observing my blood dripping down
on the open wound of
the tiny rootstock in front of me
cliffing open,
what does it take for a wound to heal?
how do 2 trees learn how to grow together?
what does fuel this miraculous healing?
a kiss on the cut, a band aid hug, the soothing balm of calendula blossoms
right season, the will for life, the courage to be in relationship
observing in pacient awe
as new tissue forms, rendering new realities
