Long time ago, it was a stately oak tree with a strong trunk and beautiful foliage. It has withstood many storms throughout its life, storms that left signs on its trunk. Now it’s just an old oak forgotten by all, who hopes that no strong storm will come to put it down.
“For me, trees have always been the most penetrating preachers. I revere them when they live in tribes and families, in forests and groves. And even more I revere them when they stand alone. They are like lonely persons. Not like hermits who have stolen away out of some weakness, but like great, solitary men, like Beethoven and Nietzsche.” Hermann Hesse

A wonderful photo I love oak trees and had a very large one in my garden in Latvia that I called Henry.
The trees are really very strong. We also have some isolated trees in my vicinity.
It is very very old but still strong.
Trees are beautiful and lovely to have around…
This is true! They improve air quality.
I too love seeing these old beautiful trees. If only they could talk.
They are the silent witnesses of our lives…
It is very important to find the right way to survive
Trees know better than we how to survive.
