There is an hour at the end of certain days when the difference between what is moving and what is staying becomes harder to draw. The lamp on the desk and the cat on the bed are both objects. The friend on the phone and the wind outside the window are both voices. Nothing has changed. The hour has just stopped insisting on the categories. Then the lamp goes off, and the categories come back, and you go to bed.
A tree in a field at dusk, in mist that has gone fully peach. A flock of birds high up, on their way somewhere only they decided. The tree stays, of course. It always stays. But for a few minutes at this hour it is hard to tell which of the two is doing the dreaming.
A natural fit for Tinkers by Paul Harding, The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa, or any book read alone with the window open and no plans for tomorrow.
The thing about an old tree is that it has been doing the same thing in the same place for longer than any of us has been doing anything. Wars happened around it. Roads were built. Families lived nearby and then stopped living nearby. The tree dropped leaves every autumn and grew new ones every spring and never told anyone how long it had been keeping count. Stand under it for ten minutes and the rest of the week starts to look brief.
