The Miracle of a Tree

#708048 - 06/28/02 01:13 PM (22 years, 2 months ago)

There is an old saying that goes something like:
"You can't see the forest for the trees."
Well, sometimes it is good to look at the big picture, but all too often many of us forget to take the time to appreciate the small things in life; or to quote another old maxim:
"Stop and smell the roses."

While roses are a miracle in themselves, I'd like to focus on the trees mentioned in the first of the above proverbs. Trees. I'm sure you all see them everyday. But when is the last time you really stopped to look at one? When is the last time you realized what a great miracle of life each and every single tree is?
Yes, a miracle. A miracle that we overlook and take for granted every day.
Next time you see a tree growing, think about how it started. The color, feel, design, and texture of each tree's strong, thick bark, far-reaching limbs, and innumerable leaves started from just a single, small seed. If that isn't a miracle, then what is?
Many people suggest hugging trees. I find that to be a tad bit uncomfortable, and a good way to get people to look at you like you're crazy. Instead, I recommend climbing a tree next time you have a chance.
And forget your shoes too! Let your bare feet feel the bark of the tree. Let the tree's soul touch your's through the soles of your feet! It's a great feeling. When you are up in the tree, admire how every single leaf is positioned to receive the optimal amount of sunlight. Caress the bark of the trunk and limbs with your hands, and imagine the life-blood of the tree flowing through it as you do so.

The point is, a tree is a miracle. And it is a miracle that can inspire you with awe and wonder everyday. If more people took the time to admire miracles like this, the world would be a much better place.

Just my two cents

Peace and love,
