Or you see a tree growing from an impossible, improbable place, reaching out to the split concrete slab, and growing with defiance.
Every person is the same as every tree.
You have as much right to be here as you
As the moon and the stars.
The trees and the flowers.
The birds in the sky and the fish in the sea.
And you are where you need to be.
Where you are supposed to be.
Where the world wants you to be.
You are safe.
And you are loved.
Imagine once more all your problems and worries as icicles.
Waiting for the spring to melt.
As temporary and impermanent as a row of icicles.
That will soon be gone.
Look out at the landscape this tree is seen every day for five thousand years.
There is a fresh layer of unbroken snow.
The only things rising above the white are the slate grey boulders, the dark trunks of trees, a view that stretches off into the distance with mountains and valleys rising and falling as different shades of grey and white.
Methusela has never tried to move, never yearned for a different view, never tried to pull his roots from the ground and shift to what might be a more scenic place.
The grass has never been greener in Methuselah's world.
