Silent Resilience

As I walk through the forest, I am constantly in awe of the strength and resilience around me. The twisting trunks and the bent tops, signs of perseverance through challenging times, they tell silent stories. I see trees that twist, like this trunk here, and I imagine it year after year, season after season, reaching for the sun and twirling with the wind. The tree above is growing almost parallel with the ground, reaching and continuing to thrive after some event pushed it over, revealing its deep need to survive.  

Whether facing drought, harsh wind, or pests, these trees remain strong and unwavering, stoic where they stand. These trees tell us stories of patience, adaptation and quiet determination to go on.
