We have many ways to measure time. Many devices. Varied measurements. I spotted this one while walking in Central Park yesterday. How many years has it seen?
See you along the Trail.

Making my way up Broadway last night,
the tower of Riverside Church caught my attention.
Without a clue,

Walking to and from the Presbyterian Office of Public Witness, this intriguing tree caught my eye and the eyes of many others.
Catherine, Peng and I stopped and looked at it for a time. None of us had seen anything like it. The pink-purple flowers grow directly on the bark – almost like moss.

We walked, some of us stumbling, across the sidewalk and on to the grass where we could read the sign.

See you along the Trail.

Hopefully the summer of 2012 will
bring a better illustration of uphill.
