Arboreal Thought: Weightless Spirits Willingly Fly with a Persuasive, Heavenly Embrace

By Phillip D. Reisner

My idea of arboreal thought is an analogy based on the arboreal hypothesis that suggests a ground-running biped of some kind that adapted itself to living in trees. The hypothesis suggests that the biped began climbing trees, then leaping branches, then parachuting branches, and finally developing feathered, flapping wings to fly.

Phillip D. Reisner

I am the result of a life time influence and compi-lation of insight, foolishness and spirituality with a bit of wisdom occasionally surfacing. I grew up on an Indiana farm and never forgot my roots, even though I was involved with serving the Navy, teaching, manufacturing, real estate and construction during my seventy-six years of life. My wide variety of experiences are philosophically and spiritually woven throughout my writing of poetry. I have experienced joy and sorrow, enlightenment and ignorance, pride and humility; thus, my writing ex-presses protected passions and emotions connected with lifes diverse passing of time and collection of encounters, events and coincidences. I have a melancholy sense of personal and family history. Sometimes both hurt and reward me to a point of causing inner and outer emotional expression. The cosmos seems to speak to me as if I have been to Earth before or possibly from somewhere out there in that mysterious cosmos. I speculate that heaven is only a thought or a moment away. I believe that I am only a grain of sand in the desert of humanity. I consider myself unimportant in that desert, but know without me the desert would be less. So, in my final analysis, I pray to be important enough to get Gods attention.
