When I take a walk down the street, I’m enveloped by rows of tall trees. And every time I look at the tall pines and Redwoods, I’m struck by their magnificence. They soar into the sky and somehow combine strength, stability, and stillness all at once.
Their size also reminds me of the fact that they were here long before me. And that they’ll be here long after.
My worries-of-the-moment feel small when I think of everything they’ve seen and endured.
Tall trees give us so many wonderful gifts – shade, oxygen, and beautify. But the biggest gift they give us might just be perspective.
