I just returned from a trip from Pateley Bridge, Harrogate, North Yorkshire. As I cycled around the countryside, I passed by this tree several times. This and many other trees really impressed and fascinated me a lot. How could they keep themselves so beautiful, grand, strong and inspiring despite their age, the very harsh winds and often cold and rainy weather? Also during winter time, the burden of the heavy snow must have been weighing on the branches, providing another stress on these trees.
The only explanation I could find is that those trees must have a solid foundation of very strong and healthy roots and they are not resisting the strong winds, rain, storms and heavy snow but bending its branches as necessary. It might be, we too, in our lives, if we can not change or solve some unwanted issues and situations, we should try to accept them and bend accordingly instead of forcing to resist while also making sure that we have a very strong and healthy body and mind.
