To be like a tree

I went camping this weekend and while there I started paying special attention to the trees. While starring at them I realized that there's a lot that can be learned from a tree. For instance trees stand silently, tall and straight, they do not pass judgement they simply observe, allowing the creatures of the forest carry out their respective goals. Trees offer a selfless service to those that dwell in the forest. They provide food for some and shelter for others. Likewise trees continually eminate their ever present beauty regardless of whether or not the sun is shining down on them or hail stones are beating them down. I feel like I learned a lesson on how to live from the trees this weekend and I just wanted to share it.
