Have you ever wondered about trees?? I was out snowshoeing this afternoon in the glorious weather...trees, i thought to myself, they are so amazing! They mirror OUR lives so perfectly.
We are born, tiny, helpless, dependent, weak. But then we grow...we are nurtured and loved and we start to get legs of our own. Eventually the branches start to go in all directions, confused and sometimes crossed. Sometimes the trunk of the tree doesn't have enough energy to feed the branches that are damaged and unhealthy, and the weak branch becomes sick. The trunk then pushes all of it's energy to the weakened branch...trying to drive it to live but it fails and must let it go. The dead branch snaps off, but then underneath the dead and broken branch grows a new branch. It regenerates, gets strong again and new life is born!
The cycle keeps going and going.
Aren't we like a tree? Aren't we so fragile and dependent when we are born. Don't we often grow to only become confused and crossed in our "branches"? That part of us dies, if we learn the lesson, and a new part of us is born again. Constantly changing and evolving.....
I've always wondered about trees.
