Life is … #7

Life is …. a tree, it never shows up suddenly. It might be planted intentionally or propagated by the forces of nature.

No matter how big or small a tree is it must undergo the renewing and conserving process of abscission.

Some do so gradually over a long period of time (evergreen trees), others do so at once (deciduous trees). Which ever way it happens each is still a tree undergoing growth differently all to fit in with purpose.

That which has fulfilled it’s purpose gives way to the new, it’s a cycle of growth; holding unto the past or excess luggage hampers the future.

Thus we must take a leave from the trees and let the future breath through our past victories, mistakes or unknowns.


Hi there, thank you for stopping by today. This is the sixth edition of my ‘life is’ series where I try to relate life to different concepts/ideas in society. Would love to hear your thoughts on life is … a tree.

  1. This is the part I like the most: Some do so gradually over a long period of time (evergreen trees), others do so at once (deciduous trees). Which ever way it happens each is still a tree undergoing growth differently all to fit in with purpose.
