Grow Strong Roots!
Lessons from a Forest
The Photo above might not show you the full picture, but in the middle you can see a leaning Tree.
In usual conditions the Tree would fall down, but it has been leaning the way you see it for over 5 years now. It’s 35m (114 f)
Imagine:
- 5 x Snowy winters
- Dozens of Blizzards
- Winds up to 120 km/h (75 mph)
But it still holds on to the ground.
This tree is insane, but it’s not standing there alone. In a forest Trees are like a huge family. The roots are connected to each other. Trees communicate, share energy, food, water and feelings.
If a Tree needs help, like our friend in the photo, the roots from his neighbor fellows will grow stronger to keep him alive.
I watch this tree everyday. It stands in front of our house.
This makes me think of our own life, and the conclusions of my contemplations are:
You can be strong, but with the support of others you are unbreakable.
No matter how high you rise, without strong roots you will fall.
I often meditate in front of this Tree. It always ends up with positive thinking and hope that everything will be good, regardless of the situation. For as long I take care of my roots.
Have a great Weekend and Hit the Trail!
