I saw a tree today
not one of the flamboyant fall trees lining sidewalks
or one of the gnarly old Garry oaks trees in the park
or a tall pine in the midst of all the autumn falling leaves
but a fanciful sketch on a little white board ~
a gift left by family houseguests yesterday.
I seldom look at the side of my refrigerator
except to use my fridge magnets for notices
but a glancing glance with
curious surprise at a white board that had been blank
focused my attention
brought a smile to my face
and light to my heart.
Thank you Jason and Corette!
