Will and Ed,

Do you know the poetry about trees by Robert Frost?

Here's one of my favorites:

"The way a crow
Shook down on me
The dust of snow
>From a hemlock tree

Has given my heart
A change of mood
And saved some part
Of a day I had rued."

When small things like this lift my heart on a bad day, I call it a
"dust of snow" moment.

Other of his great poems are: Birches; Tree at My Window; and Leaves
Compared With Flowers

They are deceptively simple. They really have tremendous depth. At
least for me.
