A Tree of Many

A tree of many On my travels of the day, I came across an albino tree. It brought sadness to my eyes, but then the longer I looked at it my sadness of the tree changed. For this tree had no bark, it looked dry and flaky which gave it an albino look to it; It seemed it had no life, but it was full of life. The bark was gone, no protection from the elements of nature, but yet it still had life, spouting vegetation and standing strong. Now I feel proud of the tree, for come spring, it will look beautiful as all the other trees. Makes me wonder if we can be as strong as that tree... This is one of the many miracles of life...

Perhaps if we disacarded our outer protective layers others would be able to see us more clearly. Just like you were able to see beyond you initial impression of the tree.

I Knew As Know, You Have A Very Beautiful, Priceless Loving Heart, Dear Gina....No One Can Truly Fathom The Entire Beauty Amid, 'Creation!' Yet Sometimes We Can Escape These Limits If But For A Mere Moment; Then, We Behold Their Splendours, Betwixt These Shadows....All Roads Lead Unto This Place We Dream: Beautiful Glimpse Into Your Loveliness...Love, Jeremy
