They say a mirror of above is below,
Branches reaching high,
Not touching the sky,
With roots buried deep.
A secret network
Of Life old and new
Only half of it seen,
Half hidden from view.
Stretching out, reaching down
Not understood
Grasping at soil
As it slips underfoot
No purchase, it slides,
Down an unknown path
Darker and colder.
Above the surface bolder
Arms embrace the sun
Warmth caressing the seed
So much in need
To be whole, and nourished
In the light of Day.
Roots are the base
For all Nature’s calls
If they are gone,
The mightiest tree falls.

About pensitivity101
I am a retired number cruncher with a vivid imagination and wacky sense of humour which extends to short stories and poetry. I love to cook and am a bit of a dog whisperer as I get on better with them than people sometimes!
In November 2020, we lost our beloved Maggie who adopted us as a 7 week old pup in March 2005. We decided to have a photo put on canvas as we had for her predecessor Barney. We now have three pictures of our fur babies on the wall as we found a snapshot of Kizzy, my GSD when Hubby and I first met so had hers done too.
On February 24th 2022 we were blessed to find Maya, a 13 week old GSD pup who has made her own place in our hearts. You can follow our training methods, photos and her growth in my blog posts.
From 2014 to 2017 'Home' was a 41 foot narrow boat where we made strong friendships both on and off the water. We were close to nature enjoying swan and duck families for neighbours, and it was a fascinating chapter in our lives.
We now reside in a small bungalow on the Lincolnshire coast where we have forged new friendships and interests.
