Not sure if this is the appropriateplace for this, but there's only oneway to find out.
 
I've been watching a blasted tree. Literally, blasted by the elements. A particularly strong blast of wind, perhaps. It was a big tree. Once it must have been very tall, reaching for the sky, as a tree should. As is it's nature, throwing up it's branches towards the sun. Did it reach too high? Who knows? It was toppled. Did it slowly lean further and further until it came to rest? Or did it happen suddenly? One moment upright, the next brought low. It's still alive. It was not uprooted. Damaged, but not enough to kill it. It's still growing - sideways. It's trunk now a low arch across the grass by the river bank. Two branches now have parts deep in water. Have they become like the naturally hidden parts? Have they changed their nature or their function? One branch touches the Earth on the otherside of the river. I can see this plainly because spring is late and the leaves too small to obscure the shape of the distorted, bent tree. It exists quietly in May sunlight. Frustrated in it's tree nature. As I watch I imagine all the creatures that have walked, scampered, crawled, across what to them was a bridge. Did they recognise the bridge's fallen treeness? Does the tree grieve that all the effort it put into reaching for the sky is doomed to lie close to the Earth? Or, does it realise it's disability to be a tree serves a purpose? Or is it just enough that the little piece of conciousness that I carry is aware? Perhaps.
Just having a ponder.

There are two kinds of truths. There are the superficial truths, the opposite of which are obviously wrong. But there are also the profound truths, whose opposites are equally right.
