Tree Root Reflections

treerootreflections-058

Tributaries of a monster river can wander away into the woods and form reflecting pools.

Some move ever so slowly; they can appear still to the undiscerning eye.

Water loving trees find their way to the river’s edge. Seedlings can root in the byways of the wandering tributaries.

Their roots sink deep into the mud, and they grow beside these reflecting pools. Some roots can grow so big and strong they can break rock.

To an observer the line between the real and reflected can become blurred.

My name is Katherine J. Krein. I lost my father in June of 2013, and then I lost my mother in November of the same year. After they both died I went through a mind-warping number obsession that has taken me years to control. This is my story. It is now 2025. I still use this site to post some poems and thoughts. My obsession has faded, however, I still notice the numbers. Faith, hope, and love is what guides me now.
