Father of time gone by, standing on the mountain.
Gnarled hands reaching for the light. Thickest skin holding
all
The years going as far back as we could never remember.
Standing still in the powdery winds that threaten
Change, and yet you grow.
“Human nature is not a machine to be built after a model,
and set to do exactly the work prescribed for it, but a tree, which requires to
grow and develop itself on all sides, according to the tendency of the inward forces
which make it a living thing.” – John Stuart Mill, "On Liberty"
Did you know that the oldest tree in the world is over 5,000 years old???
