My favorite line. “But, shouldn’t it also make sense that if I could offer grace and forgiveness to a tree without hesitation, that I could also offer grace and forgiveness to a human being who might cause an unfortunate situation for me too?” Beautiful piece. And you are lucky to have been spared sis. I know a guy from high school whose mother died just sitting in her car and a tree fell on it. 🙏🏼♥️
Thanks for your comment ✨. And yes, I’m utterly aware of how lucky I am. Ever since, when I’m in the market for a new car, I always inquire about the strength of the roof!! And I’m so sorry about your classmate’s mom. How devastating.
That’s a powerful story—every time I encounter a fallen tree I think of that Frost poem “On a tree fallen across a road”—which is just all about doing what you did—stopping to think, pausing to reflect on your path, your way.

crazy. And now, I will never buy a car again without asking about the strength of its roof! xx

I love that, David ✨
I remember that day so vividly!
Like it was yesterday. Right?
