Wisdoms and Trees

This year's Scarecrow was supposed to be interactive -- a Hallowood tree with a jar of  wisdoms to draw from: Shakespeare, Mary Oliver, Lao Tzu, Wislawa Symborska.

No one came up the walk, though; I guess "Trick or Tree/take one wisdom" wasn't clear enough. 

But at least I enjoyed them.

The morning my dad passed, I drew this Charlie Brown gem: 

"Perhaps they are not stars in the sky, but rather openings where our loved ones shine down to let us know they are happy."

Coincidence?

When Sue came over for trip planning, here's what she drew:

"Travel is about the gorgeous feeling of teetering in the unknown." -- Anthony Bourdain

I am positive this is the only travel-focused wisdom in there, out of about 100.

I have to ask again. . . coincidence?

Now this little leaf is coming along as our trip talisman~
