This weeks challenge involves using this website to find out what tree you are. I am an alder. The characteristics that immediately caught my attention were “trailblazer” and “pathfinder”, since I spend so much time in the woods.
Did I find this path? It has been worn into soil By thousands of feet. Now I add my steps to it My mind blazing a new way.
Although I often walk the same trails, they have a “same river twice” quality. I find that every hike is unique, and now matter how many times I walk the same path, my mind is renewed.
Have some fun and take the challenge here.

Splendid! I love the tree inspiration! It’s funny how many traits seem to fit.

This is great–you took what you “needed” from the tree description and it inspired a poem about yourself. I love it!

Boz, I know what you mean about no two walks being the same. There is always something new to perceive. Nature gives us so much!
