A few nice tree bonsai care images I found:

I really need to take better care of me plants… This is the sad reminicents of my dear bonzai ficus, he couldn’t stand the winter. The strange thing is that his twin brother (not on this picture) is thriving.
hush. Sunlight

More painting last night. Which meant tearing down another three bookshelves. Which meant discovering more sleeping books.
This is page 281 of E.E. Cummings Complete Poems, 1913-1962. A birthday gift from a boyfriend a long time ago.
I’ve dated a handful of guys who wrote poetry (of course I did. english major. you can own us with poem.) but J was the only poet.
He looked after his poetry the way he tended to his bonsai: Daily. Deliberately. Giving it room to grow.
He didn’t care much for cummings, but he knew that I did.
I loved this book to distraction.
here’s the poem, with apologies, because flickr will most certainly strip out all the indentations and spacing.
==========================================
will out of the kindness of their hearts a few philosophers tell me
what am i doing on top of this hill at Calchidas, in the sunlight?
down ever so far on the beach below me a little girl in white spins,tumbles;
rolling in the sand.
across this water,crowding tints:browns and whites shoving,the dotting
millions of windows of thousands of houses—Lisboa. Like the crackle
of a typewriter,in the afternoon sky.
goats and sheep are driven by somebody along a curve of road which eats
into a pink cliff back and up leaning out of the yellowgreen water.
they are building a house down there by the sea,in the afternoon.
rapidly a reddish ant travels my fifth finger.
a bird chirps in a tree,somewhere nowhere
and a little girl in white is tumbling
in sand
Clouds over
me are like bridegrooms
Naked and luminous
(here the absurd I; life, to peer and wear clothes.
i am altogether foolish, i suddenly make a fist
out of ten fingers
voices rise from down ever so far—
hush.
Sunlight,
there are old men behind me I tell you; several,incredible,
sleepy
Bonsai, Care, Cool, images, tree
