Wisdom Tree

I asked of this Tree to tell me,"What is it that you know Wise Tree that I do not?" It replied,"As I have aged, I have become stronger, wiser, and more beautiful. So have you, but you have ceased to know it. Wisdom can come at any age, it comes when an idea ceases to be philosophy and becomes your truth." ~Lara

Lara, excellent wisdom and the tree is spectacular in its. prerspective. Great marriage of prose and photography. Miguel

Artist Reply: Thank you so very much Miguel, I make a habit of asking myself to think fro mthe perspective of animals, plants and inanimate objects.."What does it know that I do not?" I think everything teaches if we listen. Ciao, Lara

I once approached a large old oak tree and asked it the same thing - At once I heard a babbling brook, and a voice told me to "take a hike" - I was happy, that I got this message to get with nature as I had often thought I should get out and walk more, but it turns out it was just an old wino behind the tree going to the bathroom.

Artist Reply: Hmm...how did I know where that story was going? I must be psychic :) LOL. Thanks for the comment! Have a great evening
