This year, I witnessed the self-healing ability in trees. I saw it in the two tall trees in theneighbor’s front yard.
Last summer, the trees did not look healthy. Some of the leaves were dried up.
At the beginning of this year, before getting warm, the owner had trimmed all the branches off from the trees. The trees had become completely bald on their top parts. Only the trunk parts were left. I felt sorry for the trees.
However, in the spring time, the trees started putting forth their branches and leaves back on. I had observed their recovering process every day.
By the beginning of summer, the trees had completely back to normal state, even much healthier than last year. Now, the trees have exuberant foliage. I was awed by their self-healing energy.
When I saw these trees’ self-healing ability, I thought about Pluto. Pluto deals with “death and rebirth” and “destruction and regeneration.”
The trees looked like dead when the top parts were all gone. But they were not totally dead. The trunk and the roots were still alive, and they had a desire to come back to life again.
I thought it was a blessing to witness it.
It can be applied to us too. Once in a while, we need to get rid of all the excuses and escape routes, so that we can focus on only our core part, just like the trees did. The trees lost all the detailed parts once, then they focused on the trunk and the roots; their vital energy.
As old people used to tell us, we can learn a lot from the Nature.
