if it be cut down, that it will sprout again,
and that its shoots will not cease.
Though its root grow old in the earth,
and its stump die in the soil,
yet at the scent of water it will bud
and put out branches like a young plant."
Job 14:7-9
The park is starting to look very Autumnal now, everything is dying and the colours are slowly becoming duller and darker. These willow shoots caught my eye as they were so bright - some broken off twigs, lying in a careless pile under a huge, old willow tree, have started to sprout again because of all the rain - it reminded me of this verse in Job about 'the scent of water'.
