I walk along the forested path of tall straight Ponderosa Pines. I come upon a slanted one maybe 15° off a direct line to the sky.

Of course this tree here does not speak, but we understood each other. Maybe words fail anyway, when it comes to grief. And perhaps being simply held here today On this gray, breathless morning is the language of love and loss. I smile again. I hear the birds and squirrels scuffling about More good company.
