One lakeside tree

To infinity and beyond

A single tree grows in the grass beside the lake.

Today the sun is shining, the sky a perfect shade of blue, reflected just as idylically on the gentle waves below.

But I imagine not every day is like this. That some days the skies are grey and threatening. And that same tree would still stand, alone against the elements.

We can’t control whatever may roll in from beyond the horizon. We can, however, dig our roots in and stand tall against whatever may come our way.

And here I thought this was a simple photo of a simple tree.
