I really should get back before the weather worsens, but the near-mirror image is too perfect to ignore. I don't know enough about tree biology to know if they communicate with each other, but part of me wants to believe that is exactly the case.
What better way, after all, to batten down the hatches against a challenging world than to face the storm alongside the one who's known you for your entire life?
Hmm, I’m sensing a more broadly applicable metaphor here. Occupational hazard, apparently.
I know these are just a couple of trees sitting in the middle of a forest. Hardly worth standing in the driving snow and wondering about.
But what do we wonder about if not something we came across randomly? What do we wonder about when we stop randomly wandering through the woods in the middle of a storm?
I'd rather not know the answer to either of these questions.
