| My Knarled tree of beauty |
 |
| Beauty is a debatable concept |
| ||||||
The tree that is on the boarder between me and the neigbor is a topic of discussion between the two of us frequently. My neigbor is a retired horticulturist.He has a different concept of what a tree should be and which ones he would chop down. The live Oak growing between us ,but mostly on my property is misshaped and has knarles of beauty to me.he says the tree is deformed and not typical of the species. He would like to see it cut down and removed . But I still see and enjoy the shade it gives. Annually it has a Mockingbird nest in its limbs. It also is the joy of some other creatures. How can we think of destroying a home to animals? They don't see a deformed tree but a home. I see a tree that has been through many years and shows no evidence of a disease that would dume it soon. The tree has some odd knarles or bumps where if we look up the species in a book we wouldn't find it in their pictures. I have for many years had a hanging plant dangling from one of the lower limbs. I wouldn't mind having a few trimmed limbs taken off but no amputation at the ground. I consider this tree a lot like myself.Its been through hard times but still survives with defects showing.I too with my MS now over many years don't look like a model we see in picture on TV or in magazines. Yes I have a set of legs that are very uncooperative to my mobility. But nobody doesn't say I should go away. I'm not a prize of society from an athletic view.It takes me three times as long to walk a distance ,with the assistance of crutches and braces. I get tired easily,yet I believe I have some characteristics worth noticing. I can focus my attention on piece of paper or slate piece to paint. I'm a male secretary who can hold my own in my office doing the work I'm given to proform. I have taken inventory of my good parts and find a body worth using for what it can do successfully. Like my tree with its uncharacteristic shape and and deformitys it still is a object of God and continues to give me great pleasure in its shade, its resistance to the elements and its jest to grow new limbs every season. Growth is definately a sign of LIFE. Richard |
