I found that we humans identify with many contrasting experiences in our arboreal counterparts, like the strength and fragility you describe here.<br /><br />Thank you for sharing Arlene. For me, your story is timely and relevant. It's important to remember to practice gratitude.<br /><br />From the PNW old growth,<br /><br />JLBJade L Blackwaterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15321787298101881675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2455987426245845424.post-62449577098959764222011-08-02T20:40:53.658-05:002011-08-02T20:40:53.658-05:00Thank you, dear sweet Helen.
