Thinning and trimming are musts.
Life will go on without doing so,
But the strident effort to keep up
On these details brings out the
Beauty of nature and the assurance
That nature in an orderly form is
Beautiful and breath taking.
It requires a good eye and perspective
To trim properly and then a strong back
To gather the fallen and set them aside
To decay or grind them up for mulch.
After this is accomplished, we may sit back
And observe the sunlight flowing through
The open spaces and take our breath away
With the beauty we see. In our own lives
We may thin and trim the excess we have
Accumulated but do not need. We may
Dispose of it by giving it to Goodwill or
Saint Vincent DePaul or Good Neighbor
Others will have access top the things we
No longer need or want. We find new room
To move about and organize, saving a lot of
Time in the long run. What was messy is now
Organized and neat, a pleasure to observe. It
Takes one with a thoughtful process to do this.
When finished we are happy and have no regrets
