There's always been a tree in my life. Whether it was the tree that shaded our apartment before we knew about air conditioning. Or whether it was the tree outside school where everyone would meet. And, then there are the trees that surround your house. Those that are like family. They sprout beautiful leaves and flowers for you to enjoy, they provide beautiful color photos and they grow big enough for your kids to find play time or comfort time with their favorite tree.

So, I am presently contemplating a major decision in my life and I open the front door and gaze onto a huge tree in the neighbor's corner yard. The tree is about 150 years tall. The branches are so thick that each one looks like a separate tree. And the leaves are so light and, without effort, flowing with the wind. As I am struck by this awesome beauty, I say "God, just give me a sign. Please give me a sign to tell me what to do." The next day, being extremely pensive about the subject at hand, I open the front door to again gaze into the peacefulness of the Mother of all trees. I open the door and as my eyes anxiously look for the tree and it's movement, I am aghast!!! My eyes don't believe what they are seeing. I truly have to take a deep breath and ask myself if I was dreaming. The tree, with all of it's strong arms, had been cut down. Not just cut down, but slaughtered....hacked. There were open, bare stumps where once stood strong arms and flowing leaves. Now, just brown hacked arms. So, I asked God if this was my sign. And then I chuckled to myself as I imagined the answer to be "If this isn't a sign, maybe we have to strike you with lightening!"

Who knows, the ride from Vegas to Zion and Bryce is very appealing on a sport bike. Would love to do it soon. I find Harleys too big for the mountains. How long ago did you make this trip?
