After a long, beautiful, cleansing night at the homestead with three of the most beautiful people I know, I have come to a realization. As humans, we are all experiencing the world around us in our own individual ways, but it's all still the same world. From this, I thought of trees. Humans are like trees. Each tree has its roots that extend deep beneath the surface of the earth and each tells a singular, distinct story that grows, and grows, and grows. Individually, these trees extend high into the sky, experiencing the world from top to bottom. But collectively we can look upon these trees and see that they make up the woods, or a forrest, or even a small garden. What matters is that they are all independent entities that experience the world in their own singular ways, yet fit together so perfectly to weave the beautiful tapestry we call our world.
That's what we are. All of us. Trees. Individual. Together. Trees.
