I'm glad i am not a tree, which is rooted and forced to stay in the exact same place it's entire life, which is significantly longer than ours. In some ways I am like a tree. The fact that I am one, unique from the billions of my kind. The fact that I am living and breathing. I even change colors in the different seasons :p but I am nonetheless a human and not a tree.

The reason that I'm glad that I'm not a tree is because it is forced to stay in a specific location it's whole life. It cannot ever move even if it wanted. Unless some human happened to pick it out of the trillions of other trees to cut down and probably chop into pieces and burn or turn into paper. Or a natural disaster could occur and uproot it or knock it over.

It almost seems like a better option to not move. Also a tree has to stay put and watch the world go by. Watch the river and the boats go by, and the cars drive by. Watch people live their lives and move around and have relationships. I think I would be dying of envy my whole life.


I'd rather me more like the water. That travels all over the place. It travels throughout several different bodies of water, through the air and the ground and even the plants. It travels through humans and runs down mountains. Seems like it has a pretty adventurous journey. And I don't know why that's so desirable, but it is.

In my life I feel I can't stay put. I can't do the same thing every day for too long or it just loses it's meaning and becomes something I hate. That may be for several different reasons, but it is what it is. So i don't want to be stuck in one place. I mean I'm astounded by the beauty of Roane county alone. I can't imagine what it might be like in the billions of other places that I've never been before.

I guess I'm sort of a romantic in the sense that i find beauty and restoration in nature. In all of God's creation for that matter. Especially nature though.

Anyway I was moved by nature today and I thank God for that because i was feeling pretty down. I've also been reading Ecclesiastes because of that thanks to JP and it's helping lots too.

I think I'm going to start blogging again. :p
