      Apr 30, 2021

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      Forward

      She threw her arms back and said to the wind,

      Which way do you go? That I may find my way back when I follow?

      The wind did not reply. She followed the wind singing songs to it, all day

      into the night. She traveled out of the lush valley where she had begun.

      She entered into a new rise of land, with many-a-dip, followed by an

      incline. Then, a leveling out. This was a safe level place! Or was it?

      It was unfamiliar.
