The Walnut Tree In my grandparent’s backyard‚ there is a huge walnut tree containing two trunks at its base—I have never understood whether it was only one tree or two‚ planted right next to each other. It is as if someone has cut the tree into two unequal pieces with a huge sword. If I wrap my arms around the thicker half of the tree‚ my hands barely touch each other.

MANGO TREE Once a child threw the stone haphazardly on the ground after eating a mango. It got buried under the ground. As it remained in the soil‚ a sapping sprouted out of the stone.

Scent of Apples Bienvenido N. Santos When I arrived in Kalamazoo it was October and the war was still on. Gold and silver stars hung on pennants above silent windows of white and brick-red cottages. In a backyard an old man burned leaves and twigs while a gray-haired woman sat on the porch‚ her red hands quiet on her lap‚ watching the smoke rising above the elms‚ both of them thinking the same thought perhaps‚ about a tall‚ grinning boy with his blue eyes and flying hair‚ who went out to war:

I faced away from them as I continued my lying streak. “I fell… on crayons”—I supported my chin with a hoof—“and‚ um‚ I still have some in my coat.” I glanced at them and pointed a hoof toward the lake. “We need to go into the water as soon as possible so I can wash off the stains!” “Then‚ why were you dragging behind all the way instead of rushing us here?” asked Scootaloo. “I was‚ um‚ saving my strength

Where there is miles of unexplored wilderness‚ made up of ridges‚ swamps‚ and deer trails‚ I’m able to loosen from the stress of everyday life. From the second I take one step into this place‚ to the time I leave fully relaxed. The woods is the place that I fully am content.

Light gentle leaves in red‚ orange‚ and yellow descending
