The garden in the backyard of my house has all sorts of fruit trees. Whenever I went for a trip, I made it kind of like a custom to get seeds of fruits that is unique to that place and had them planted in my garden. My father used to say that I had magical hands since at most all the seeds I planted did end up having sprouts. It didn't matter to me if it grew up into a healthy plant/tree bearing abundant fruits. All I want is to watch them grow, just fine. Everything in my garden was planted by me like that and this garden is where I come to if I needed a breather from the stress.
The last time when I went there for a walk, I saw something so bright at the southwest corner of the garden. It was an enormous densely branched tree with silvery-white leaves and trunk, those branches blocked even the tiniest streak of light. I don't remember having something like that in my garden, so I rubbed my eyes to check if it was some kind of hallucination. But no it didn't disappear. I went closer to touch and confirm its presence. As soon as I touched it, I dropped down on the ground losing my consciousness as if some switch was turned off. I don't remember how it felt on my hands when I touched that tree. Sometimes when I think back, I wonder if it was an altered memory or was that tree real.
Now I am going back again to check if that tree is still present in that place where I saw it last time as my memory recorded it. Will it be there?
