Every day is a fresh beginning.
Listen my soul to the glad refrain.
And, in spite of old sorrows
And older sinning,
Troubles forecasted
And possible pain,
Take heart with the day and begin again.

Life and death, a twisted vine sharing a single root A water bright green stretching to top a twisted yellow only to wither itself as another green unfolds overheard. One leaf atop another yet under the next, a vibrant tapestry of arcs and falls all in the act of becoming. Death is the passing of life. And life is the stringing together of so many little passings.
