…it reminded me of a time when…by Emerson

As I stepped through the colourless gate, I noticed - on the horizon - the silhouette of a bare tree standing out against the vibrant background. As I began my approach, the once lifeless tree started to spring into action, as blossom and leaves began to form and the tree itself proceeded towards me. I started to feel tense, anxious, unable to think straight. It reminded me of a time when I was unable to control what was happening to my body as I suffered excruciating pain from an appendicitis.
