A Love So Great

(Image: Leafless tree with partly cloudy, late afternoon sky.)
I will always remember how the branches of the tree in my backyard framed the moon. It was as if the tree had attempted to reach high into the sky, so that it could be the one who held the moon up, and keep it from falling. The top branches had been barren since before I moved in three and a half years ago. And yet every spring, large, sweet smelling leaves appeared on the lower branches. A love so great can take a toll on the body.  

About a year ago, the next door neighbor started sharing fears about branches cracking and falling on his garage. About six months ago, I received the first e-mail from the rental staff team saying then tree would be cut down that weekend. I went out, offered a brief prayer, and gave the trunk a big hug. Then that weekend came and went, along with a few dozen more, and another couple of emails. Maybe they decided to let the tree be, I started to think.

It was cloudy the day it finally happened. I arrived home late, with no moon to illuminate my path. Even though I knew it was eventually coming, it was still a bit of a shock to see a pile of logs and sawdust when the tree had stood before.
