The majestic redwood weathered and worn grew to a thousand feet over a thousand years, through many a hard harsh winter and through countless a brutal savage storm she endured climbing ever higher and never, even now as to Mother Earth she tumbles, her cycle in this life complete, she has no resentment or judgement of the wind, the rain, the fire, for without them to heaven tall yearning would never have she reached. No, the redwood has no regret of what could have been, as all things that touched her in this experience were her brothers and sisters, dearly loved fellow travelers on this shared infinite journey, all playing their chosen part in God’s never ending creation…

just LOVE…
