When We Become Trees - Paperback
Description
by Anna Elkins (Author)
Enter a forest of poems about patience, grace, and wonder. About discovering the code of abiding life already within us. When We Become Trees cultivates the tension of becoming: rooting down while reaching up and trying to see heaven on earth--trying to find the divine even among the rocks around us. These one hundred poems speak with motifs of soil, sky, and time. They ask, they offer: "Make my life this: / a ready harvest / given, taken, tasted." This is a book for those who, like trees, are willing to grow "ring-slow but steady."
