plants

certainly very strong beings full of vatality

it hurts me always when i see grass outgrowing bricks / trees outgrowing cement

yet it is also under such unbearable pressure that plants demonstrate their super power, will and strength

we human cut / shape them as we like. when we need them to grow, we plant them. .. how rude.

at least we better do it with more respect

the small pc of lawn near where i often exercise was full of pretty tall wild flowers. next time, all removed. only the soil..

today, i noticed 1st time, on the path where i pass daily, remains of tree trunk embedded in the metal wire fencing along pedestrian walkway. both above and below cut. the trees have thrived so much that branches become too long, obstructing people, thus “killed”

those trees were originally on the other side of the path, yet over time they expanded in all directions including to “cross the fence” and get to the other side.

the tree has merged with the metal! embraced it as part of itself.

it’s striking to look closely at how it might have happened. only very loving and powerful creatures could have done that.

and it’s certainly much more challenging to be as still as a tree when we human cannot even stay quiet a while to mediate or simply sit

may we all have greater appreciation and respect for all life forms. note the lessons they teach us. be humble and learn from them. then this world will certainly be a much better place.
