A single tree stands guard

I have a bit of a weakness for single trees standing in the middle of nowhere.

I’m also somewhat partial to fog. The thicker the better.

Put the two together and magic happens. At least to me. It’s a scene that is felt as much as it is seen, where the mournful blanket of murky air seems to suck all colours and sounds out.

It’s the perfect antidote to a life that often overwhelms, a perfect place to go when the pressures of the outside world become too great.

There’s no pressure here. No unkindness. No bullying, either. Which makes this unassuming spot an ideal candidate for #TikkunOlam.

Because repairing the world comes in many forms. Indeed, any form at all. What’s yours?
