Having the honor of passing this tree almost everyday, I am amazed by it every time, without fail:
May God grant me with the:
– Strength of this tree: it stands strong against large storms, save for a few fallen branches, and against the searing daytime sun from which it gains life
– Serenity & Patience of this tree: it stands strong, silently growing, the spanish moss swaying gently in the breezes. It shows nothing but quiet existence
– Beauty of this tree: it has the power to strike awe in its beholders
When still, it appears as completely strong and immovable as a stone wall. When it is faced with forces beyond its control, it simply bends and allows them to pass; the winds flow through the branches, gently yielding to the trespass.
We can learn volumes from nature, especially when it says nothing at all.
