		<description><![CDATA[I am an oak tree. Anchored and foreboding; Protective and growing. Drawing my strength from the soil, the earth. Reaching ever further with blossoms and new birth. With small, seeded fingers towards the sun, the sky. YET Uncultured and coarse; Bending into a force. Tormented by whispers and weather and wind, The biting, inciting termites within [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sailorscottblog.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7213330&amp;post=655&amp;subd=sailorscottblog&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Of turkey and potatoes, of hot coffee, iced tea, I [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=sailorscottblog.wordpress.com&amp;blog=7213330&amp;post=642&amp;subd=sailorscottblog&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
