What say ye Pine Log?

What say ye Pine Log?Of the glorious spring that has descended upon you,enveloped you,framed you as an artist frames his masterpiece.What say ye ancient,patient,faithful Pine LOG? Of the tangible,magical awe that has returned once again to comfort,thrill,reward you.Of the old friends who have returned to visit,spend time with you,console you,consort with you.Your pace seems more resolute now,your voice more eager,tinged with uncontrollable joy,mirth,unbridled.But what say ye Pine Log?Has the long cold winter been worth it?The long,cold,dark nights when not one star could be seen.You drifted along  faithfully,lonely,yet patient.Your visitors were few,the harsh conditions mandated it.Yet you kept moving,waiting,forgiving.The wait must have been forever,excruciating.I already know the answer,Pine Log,for I am you,and you are me,we have been interwoven into His tapestry,we share a common origin.What say ye Pine LOG? As the days slowly,subtly,slip away and the gallant trees clothing begins to show signs of an impending change.The days will once again grow shorter,colder,and will usher in once again,the time of testing.Southern whispers will give way to northern roars and the wait starts over again.What say ye Pine Log?Is it worth it?As you,Pine Log,I will observe the changes as they come and go.I will marvel,I will stand in awe,I will rejoice, I will weep.I will observe and be thankful for the treasure that comes with each one,and I will acknowledge that it has been worth it.What say ye?from Pine LOG.

  1. You should be in pain more often. I love this, love the way you relate Pine Log to yourself. I've always felt Pine Log was as alive as us and I truly believe Pine Log is happy right now and just like us, bide their time through the long winter.
    "And framed you as an artist frames his masterpiece" is a genius line.
    Pine Log is a real friend. I feel like I just read a conversation between two friends. Wonderful!
