The Tree

Look at this majestic tree, a sentinel of the fields across which I go running. Gerald said how amazing it was that I have such scenery on my runs, I must agree, no wonder I have such a feeling of well being afterwards. I love the sense of power and freedom it gives me.
Think of how many years this tree has watched silently over the landscape, how many changes it must have seen. How did it come to be the only tree left in an area that was probably all forest before?
Stability, endurance and strength. There is a lot to be learned from the wisdom of a tree.
