Vision of a tree
Accept nature’s mandate.
Grow where planted.
Use available resources.
Follow nature’s clock.
Sing nature’s song.
Bend and mend.
Protect natural selection.
Tolerate the hard.
Stay healthy strong.
Live to the fullest.
Make farewell useful.
Give what receive.

It’s worth a trip to the library or bookstore (or online). It is a very rich allegory and a simple quick read. Blessings, Rupali, c.a.

Oh yes. It was quite on the edge. The networking of roots teach us the need of more and more trees to avoid soil erosion.

yes thanks but also managed to sprain my ankle when a large hole covered in grass threw me off balance … resting it for now but confined to home until the swelling subsides 🙂

walked 6km today, much slower as my walking rubbed the swollen ankle but I’m mobile 🙂
