My heart! I LOVE the beauty of trees! I live in a redwood forest, and there are other kinds of trees that share our space…oak, cedar, pine and eucalyptus. All have a wonderful tale of the passing of time, and their place in it. Thank you for your heartfelt , and intuitive story of this lovely earth! Beautiful, Caro!
Thank you Caro, for sharing your strong awareness of trees and your connection with them. Some stand tall and strong. The Bristlecone Pine, perhaps the longest living tree species on Earth, usually appears nearly dead with no pleasing form. What they have experienced in lives approaching 5,000 years is incomprehensible to me.
I want to thank you for composing your edifying post which suggests I might slow down, a lot, and contemplate trees that we pass by in our everyday lives.
I’m happy to hear my words resonated with you, Gary! Taking a moment to appreciate quiet giants like the Bristlecone Pine can truly transform how we view the world. As you mentioned, slowing down creates a special space to enjoy life’s gentle rhythms and uncover the stories in everyday moments. I’m so glad you found value in that idea—it’s a gentle, soul-nourishing practice worth revisiting whenever we can.
