This tree can be considered an actor
in a story you’re telling or a drama
that you’re creating out of unusual
things in nature. Your tree plays a
significant role in becoming a symbol
of strength and endurance. — kenne
“The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The next best time is now.” ~Chinese Proverb
“Trees are much like human beings and enjoy each other’s company. Only a few love to be alone.” ~Jens Jensen, Siftings, 1939
The large oak is located near the Miller Creek trail out of Happy Valley on the east side of the Rincon Mountains. — Images by kenne
I never saw a discontented tree.
They grip the ground as though they liked it,
and though fast rooted they travel about as far as we do.
They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind,
going and coming like ourselves,
traveling with us around the sun two million miles a day,
and through space heaven knows how fast and far!
~John Muir
Becoming is Superior to Being
