Photo Prayer 2021-08 -- Japanese Maple Mathematics
One tree with four trunks or four trees that grew up together? From one seed or four? My thoughts are unseasonably, unreasonably mathematical. Come spring, thousands of seeds will helicopter down, just as they have for decades, long before I arrived on the scene. I am slow to learn. After the seeds, red leaves will spread across the sky, grabbing the sunshine. Uncountable points of light will find their way through the shifting canopy. I will close my eyes and listen.
