She will fly again

beyond the sun and the wind

And eternity

The goal we seek and strive for

A Honey Locust!

Christ acupuncture.

 

 

honey locust tree has very thorny bark like appearance. not one for wrapping your arms around when they say go hug a tree. whoever they are. :-)

reminds me of the crown of thorns jesus wore  on his head during crucifix.
