Lighthearted and a bit silly, but hey these are my thoughts!!My sister in- law once (many many years ago) said that when she died she wanted to come back as a tree. besides not believing in that type of after life personally I always thought that to be a rather odd statement.
For some reason this week I remembered this and it gave me pause for thought. Yes why not be a tree, after all they are very useful. I myself love going for long walks in the forest amongst the trees it is a sight too beautiful to describe. Trees provide oxygen for our environment, they provide shade on a sunny day. They provide shelter for many species of wildlife and sustenance with the fruits they bear.
So upon reflecting I have decided it is indeed good to be a tree.............then I remembered wooden furniture!! hhmmm so it's good to be a tree unless of course you are spotted by a man with an axe to grind. "TIMBER"
If you hug a tree (real hug). The tree hugs you back. This is certain, and must be done to be believed;)
ReplyDeleteA tree can exist to be beautiful, or provide oxygen, or be put to practical use, too. All those things aren't bad, really.
ReplyDeleteYou can swing in them, climb them, picnic under them and cover them with tinsel and lights. Yeah. Your sister was a wise woman.
Here's to being trees in our next lives *cheers*
