        “You begin to lift your eyelids.  They are very heavy.  Each eyelid is a paving stone.  You cannot raise them more than an inch.  You can make out vague shapes of trees around you.  You lift your eyelid another half inch.  You can see the tree more clearly.  It has very thick, wrinkled bark.  You can see the high spots of the bark very easily.  They have a faint yellow-green highlight to them.  You lift your head slowly.  It is very heavy.  You have paving stones for eyelids.  You follow the highlights up.  You can see them branch into the tree’s limbs.  You lift your head a little more.  The highlights lead into the leaves.  You can see them in the leaves like veins.  You open your eyes a little bit more.  You can see a very faint yellow-green aura coming off the leaves.  You know that is the tree breathing.
