The Pine Trees

They reach out towards the blue sky, sometimes crystal clear, sometimes cloudy and sometimes dark in the days like night. 

Hold the earth firmly with their roots, embracing mountains. Stand tall at the edges of the roads, winding like a serpent around the hills.

Loaded with beautiful cones hanging from branches like earrings worn by  Goddess Nature.  

With their intoxicating distinct smell, they embody beauty and sturdiness at the same time.The stark straight trunks of the trees, visually endow strength to the mind and heart.

Pine trees, make one acknowledge how one can brave all hardships and still  stay strong, firm and flourish if they have the support.

Support of the environment around them, their soil, their climate, their air, their temperature and how we need to preserve all. 

Just like humans, if they have the social support, they thrive, they prosper, they live with better morals, values and stronger character and it all needs to be taught and preserved.
