I Am a Tree

 At any moment, the brain has 14 billion neurons firing at a speed of 450 miles per hour. We don't have control over most of them. When we get a chill, goosebumps. When we get excited, adrenaline.

We can try to let go of what was.

And then again...

The roots keep reaching out for more water ...

 Outreach branches swaying as the cool air breeze.... Winter months ahead
