my very favorite place in between utah and nevada. many things in this state, in my life in this state seem unreal. perhaps uncommonly real. this tree is beautiful and tall. it has many colors and unusual shapes. what surrounds it is beautiful too, but two don't fit together. it stands odd and estranged, forgotten and ignored by most, adored by some. it is fragile but the stem is solid and simple. some of its shapes have fallen to the ground, thus a fence has been erected, to protect it and perhaps others. however the fence is short. within its estrangement the peace surrounds it.
