Out of all the organic matter on our planet I would like to be a tree. Trees grow deep and high at the same time. They can be the tallest, heaviest and mightiest of all. They can live the longest, existing for over thousands of years. They keep the soil from slipping away, they protect from heavy winds, their raw materials have many applications, and they give us rain and provide homes for animals, insects, birds and humans alike. They provide food, medicine, bring healing and give us life by providing oxygen. They never retaliate when we do them evil. They are always patient making the best of their place of birth.
Why can’t I take on the qualities of a tree? Consider this, they live so long and do all they do this because they use less energy. While we can’t stay stable long enough to get the best out of our opportunities. We constantly move around trying to get more, yet still being so dissatisfied. We are forever anxious never patient. Small plants grow quickly but fades away first.
We are wired to make the best of our short time span.
