Something about putting your hand on it.
It’s stronger than you.
By a lot.
Chances are good it will outlive you.
And just like how there are countless microorganisms living on your body, this tree is the entire world to colonies of insects.
I have no way of knowing if this tree gives a fuck about the tree next to it.
I would assume it does.
And if Jesus said the meek will inherit the earth?
Doesn’t get much more meek than a tree.
They just sit there, not bothering anybody. Not like you.
