Author's Notes

"Poetry is the heartbeat of my soul"

This is a beautiful illustration from nature of how love and support work for the benefit of two.

The thinner tree was cut years ago and the big one has been holding and feeding it since then. They "wake up" together in the spring and "go to sleep" together in the autumn.

Inosculation is a natural phenomenon in which parts of two different trees, commonly but not exclusively the same species, grow together, self-grafting and sharing nutrients.

Inosculation refers to the natural grafting that can occur when the branches or roots of two different trees, often of the same species, grow together and fuse.

This process allows the two trees to share nutrients, water, and other resources through the joined sections, effectively merging the two trees into a single, interconnected organism.

There is always hope...

It tells me there is always hope.

How much more can we do in love for our partner?
