“This tree will grow and flourish,” he said, “because nature does not wait for the world to make sense.”

What a beautiful qoute and a perfect metaphor for life!!

We can spend so much time waiting for life to be fair life to make sense but it waits for no one! Time moves on! And we only have so much!

I love this article you did an amazing job writing it!! The richness, the warmth it gave me the warm and fuzzies!!

You're writing just keeps on getting better and better, with sweet layers of emotion and Truth stacked on top of each other. Like Baklava dripping with flavor. Amazing Story delivered in a simple yet meaningful message.

So beautiful and I love the symbolism of the walnut tree. I love those unexpected moments that can occur with a stranger... A passing conversation about 100's of caterpillars on a tree, or a friendly conversation at the checkout. There is a retail guy at a Kmart that I always like to see as he always has such a positive outlook on life and words of wisdom to offer. Those little gems can just make your day!
