Walking in a forest I am always surprised by the message of those wooden guardians. I ponder over their tranquil wisdom, ease my mind in their peacefulness.
I don’t know about you, but I have always been uneasy about the omnipotence of time. I feel sadness, that in today’s fast-paced world, I always feel like I don’t have time for anything. I am constantly planning, chasing, making decisions, trapped in the narrowing circle of my limited time. Then I suddenly see it: a tree.
The tree, attaining to such quietly massive dignity from such a tiny little seed. I see the tree and it always reminds me to let myself go with the flow of time.
