Trees as Survivors


 

Rebellion is not necessarily the sole 

prerogative of humanity though the search 

for an ideal well may be. All things being equal 

in nature each species is conspicuous by its

form and features typifying its kind and 

recognized as such. Yet there exists among each 

of its kind variations with some so askew to 

the original blueprint their presence taken for

an instance of a living thing choosing through

personal agency a form unrecognizable in its 

lack of symmetry. Giants of the forest are in 

this category; a misshapen form rejected for 

utilitarian use where straight and tall is the ideal

bypassing the anarchic symbolism of rebellion 

to form, ultimately resulting in a perfectly venerable 

specimen of breath-taking girth and height its guise

of majesty and longevity a triumph of nature.
