There is something about this tree that draws my attention every time I walk past it. Perhaps it is the strength conveyed by its solitary stance.
It seems to say: My strength is my trust. Unconcerned about all external events, it lives in the knowledge of its uniqueness which reveals the eternal in the smallest detail of its bark, branches, and leaves.
It trusts that its labor is important. It trusts the spark of Light that sustains it. And out of this trust, it thrives!
