Dancing Trees

Resting my eyes, I lay my head down on the work table for a minute.
My perspective changes entirely.  Not just tipping, but drawn out the window where branches of the neighbors' trees are dancing.  I've been so focused on the unwanted piles of snow that I haven't looked up today.
And there they are, waiting, in all their lyrical beauty.  They dance whether I notice them or not.  They'll still wave their lovely long arms when the sun goes down shortly.  I have no affect on them, but to notice, and to celebrate the lifted heart, and to say, "thank you," God, "for showing me the dance.
