Book excerpt: You are always there in your loving, Restless awareness, so very present And intense in your longings. Like the marsh bird cooing in the dark, Always probing to know more Of life, of love, of me. Decades ago, Rea Anne Scovill transformed the anger, fear, and grief related to childhood experiences into positive life’s work. Now in her debut collection of poetry, she unveils a lifetime of epiphanies, beginning with a poem penned when she was just fourteen and ending with one created six decades later. Scovill’s poetry utilizes trees to express human traits and nature-infused stories to describe human experiences. In sometimes haunting verse that invites contemplation, she illustrates a rainbow of emotions including anxiety, frustration, intimacy fears, loneliness, and trauma. Within her more playful poems, she also celebrates the freedom to love, laugh, and rejoice. Softly woven throughout the collection is her sense of reverence for the overwhelming beauty God has spun to cushion what can sometimes be a rough human journey. Shore Pine Bonsai shares thirty-eight poems that utilize the imagery of nature to reflect on intimacy, grief, self-realization, and joy.

Download or read book Pine Tree Bonsai written by Noah Leo and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2021-09-10 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For Bonsai, pines are particularly famous and plenty of humans even regard them as the most traditional Bonsai bushes. Pine bushes are evergreen, coniferous, resinous bushes with needles that seem to be in bundles of five. The bark of older pine bushes becomes scaly or flaky. Pines can develop into lots of one-of-a-kind shapes in nature and might consequently be fashioned into nearly every recognized Bonsai style. In order to deal with every pine species consistent with its nature, it's vital to understand if it produces the simplest one or flushes of boom at some stage in the developing season. Pine species with flushes may be decandled in the early summer season to supply a 2nd flush with shorter candles and smaller needles. Pine species with one flush of boom need to no longer be decandled due to the fact that it could damage them, but the candles may be decided on and shortened.
