Defiant tree in the middle of a bog

The universe seems to have it in for this tree.

Yet despite losing much of its bark and having staples driven into what remains of its trunk, it continues to stand tall, almost defiant in its determination to stay alive.

The cynics among us would dismiss the scene as trivial, for it is just a tree.

Everyone else will see it for what it is, and walk away from an encounter inspired to carry its lessons forward.

Because if a silly tree in the shadowy woods can stay the course despite everything thrown its way, so can we.
