Trees, Trees Everywhere

It is the most obvious, common-place things in our life that we easily overlook, we take such things for granted. Of all the things around us, a tree is the most obvious thing in sight (maybe this will not be the case in near future), and almost always, excessively overlooked. It is a sad truth, but all of us suffer from the same illness, of ”overlook-ness”. Just consider a cursory scenario and tell me whether it applies to you or not:

There is a tree (or trees, the more, the better) that you come across every day on the way to work, but you never notice it, never acknowledge its presence. Maybe, in your subconscious-self, you are aware of its existence, but more often than not, if someone asked you about its presence in so-and-so place, you would scratch your head, and say, “Funny, I never noticed it”.

If this happens to you as well, I ask you to stop. Just take a moment to stop and observe when in your path you sense something mighty standing in around you. Just look around. What do you see? Isn’t the mighty giant breathtaking – with its green boughs, cool shade, thick bole, ancient bark, overall beauty as an entity, as a tree itself? If this does not please you, soothe your soul, heal your day and bring warm happiness, I think it is about time you consider what path you have taken in life because wherever it is leading you to, it is not worth going there. It is not worth going to end up in a place where there is no love for trees, or God forbid, no trees at all.
