New Growth

There are tree experts that 

could tell me what these 

crusty brown growths are. 


I suspect they are buds 

~ for new leaves? 


Rather like all of us 

as we grow. We get 

crusty with new knowledge 

mixed with old lessons.


As leaves and blossoms 

emerge the crusts fall to the 

ground, the protection for 

new growth no longer needed.




“And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud 

was more painful than the risk it took to blossom.”

~ Anaïs Nin, author
