Title: Food For Thought
Post by: folderol on July 17, 2016, 08:17:03 PM
On one of my occasional walks there is a very old oak tree. I was there today.

At sometime in the past, it was blown over and half-uprooted. However, it survived and threw out new growth below the most damaged part. Judging by the size of these branches I'd guess it was the 1987 hurricane that blew it over.

About a couple of years ago it suffered the indignity of another tree falling on top of it, breaking several of these 'new' branches. It survived that too, and again has new growth developing.

If there's a message here, I guess it is:

Never Give Up

Yes, the tenaciousness of nature! Inspiring when we're feeling down due to some silly issue in our lives.
