Mi Casa es su casa

The heart imprint on the tree in my backyard is completely new to me. How long has it been there? What has this tree qi been trying to tell me?

It seems neglectful that only now I notice her as we prepare to leave this house after 25 years where skin, breath, birth and death have been our shared natural habitat.Home is where the heart is and breathing hasn’t always been easy, yet she has slept beside me this whole time.
