This post is dedicated to my parents, dancing in heaven. It’s also dedicated to Tom, to my brothers and their soulmates, and to my many dear and treasured friends still dancing The Dance of Two Trees here on earth.

I have most often found myself first writing, and then searching for the perfect song to accompany the words. In this case it’s completely opposite. I heard this song, and instantly knew it had to be my next post…..

I will admit it took me quite some time to actually write this post, but know that I have been enjoying the soul-searching leading up to it. I have of late found myself on my woods walks looking for two trees growing together. Every time I now find a set of trees in the woods, I begin to think about all the people in my life who have been blessed with the kind of relationship that this song embodies.

In what I now refer to as my ‘old days’, I was not particularly able to see the trees for the woods. (Catch what I did there?) Decades later, I imagine how sweet it will be when I meet my parents again and I’m able to tell them about how they might’ve been right. 😌. I absolutely love the lyrics to this song, and treasure the blessings that I receive when in the presence of those around me who make me think of it.

A favorite Mum “wisdom sharing” was that she would often acknowledge that my Dad had faults, but they just didn’t bother her that much. Trust me, that didn’t make a lick of sense at the time. They were indescribably devoted to each other, to the point that I used to think they were completely whack a doodle. Sometimes I would be so embarrassed when they would hug and kiss in front of me. Ewwww…..

Did they agree on everything? Absolutely not. I’m pretty sure they had lots of quiet conversations to iron out their differences. I’ll bet one of their biggest disagreements was the “Go Devil”. (That’s a subject for another post.)

My music recommendation is Ann Reed’s sweet song, Two Trees. My hope is that you’ll find inspiration to take a walk in the woods and have a look at the trees yourself. And, on this cold wintry day, I hope you grab a hot cup of something as you sit back and enjoy this poignant song of Love and Light.
