Every day there are surprises, things we didn’t expect, events which we didn’t imagine. Some seem like miracles, many astonish or amaze us. Others strike us because they are synchronicities.
Some of them are obstacles, demanding we change direction, follow a diversion, or that we adapt.
Over the course of a lifetime we don’t follow a straight path. Looking back isn’t like looking at the wake behind a ship. A life is full of twists and turns.
These events, these adaptations, they shape us and they shape our lives. Whether we think of life as a journey or a story, every one of us is unique, and not one of us grows an identical life to another.
In every event we connect with others, and with the environment. As we interact we exchange atoms, energies and information which sculpt both ourselves and the others into these unique shapes.
These trees are over two hundred years old, and every twist and turn developed from their daily encounters…..and that’s what makes them so amazing, so unique and so beautiful.
I love to walk amongst trees. It’s good for my body and my mind. It changes my breathing, my heart rate and my day. It amazes me to be so close to creatures which have lived for hundreds of years.
