We Are No Different, Part II

It's like a tree.  A tree (well, one kind) starts out as an acorn, then a seedling, then a very young skinny tree, then a bigger tree, then bigger & bigger until it gets old and falls over or is chopped down.

Everybody looks at it and thinks "tree."

But what if all the while the tree is struggling to be a tree?  Like, "Omigod, acorns? I have to produce acorns?  Every year???"

  1. LOL Definitely too funny!!! I don't think many of us are in touch with our inner tree!

  2. Maybe that tree would rather produce peaches. Or pomegranates. But always has to produce acorns. In that case the tree would be struggling to produce the best acorns possible under the circumstances.

  3. Kay: You got it: This is hilarious. The fact that we spend our time struggling to be what we already are is not so funny.

    Shammy: Oak trees produce acorns...According to this, the other trees would be struggling to do whatever THEY do by nature. Totally absurd.

  8. Am enjoying catching up with all being said here -- pullets, trees, food, and more vittles -- and have made mental comments on all. Will key this in -- have decided my inner tree is a maple. Like many trees I have periods of time when I'm pretty sappy, but guess that's okay -- just my nature.
