i was driving home from an oncoligist appt in december 2006 , where he had told me the cancer was spreading rapidly and the next step was a very serious chemo. i stopped at a gas station along the expressway to gas up. leaning against my car, i looked across the expressway where there was a huge maple tree with a perfect canopy.
of course at tbe time it was leafless. something occured to me:
i could see a LOT of the branches. i KNEW they were there. yet, come summertime, when the leaves filled the tree, i couldnt see the branches, yet i knew those branches were holding them leaves there.
