A "Tree Tuesday" post, which is hosted by @old-guy-photos, and my first post in the "Free Your Mind Community"... created by my dear friend and BroSir @mondoshawan
It's not even halfway through the week, and already we are coming up to the end of this month. June has passed by, with July and the coming Independence Day festivities... We continue to see the events take place in the world around us; no reason to really go into detail, as we are all, in some way, affected... yes? So what better a way, to spread some positive energy, as well as Free Our Minds, than to "look up" and think like a tree...
I know what you might be thinking... "Wes... that's not a tree, that is a Lilac Bush! But things aren't always as they seem right? This tree decided to be itself... be a tree but cast a shadow. Come to think of it, this would have made an awesome submission for @melinda010100's Shadow Hunters community... maybe next time! But does this remind you of anything? We humans have a way of wanting to see things for what they are... when sometimes, what we are looking for is right in front of us, but we can't really see it. We want things to be a certain way, or maybe; Just because it's a "shadow" of a tree, doesn't mean that it's not a tree... right? We need to remember, that sometimes things are just what they are, and no amount of searching is going to change that... stick with me now... there's a method to my madness here!
Smell the pumpkin pie in this? Autumn makes me think of that... Where was I? Oh... yes (Quit smelling your screen, its just a photo!)... Sometimes, trees can be beautiful. We love to climb them, look at their gorgeous leaves... and sometimes, we wait all year, for an opportunity like this, to get a photo with the turning of the colors. I know they are so much more than this... trees. I don't want to talk about cutting them down for firewood... or making furniture... or making paper (We have HEMP for that, but that's another post) because if I start talking about destruction, then it kind of ruins the whole thoughtful vibe right? This photograph could have just been trees with green leaves. Or trees at night... the darkness making you unable to really "see" anything. But this particular photo (if I remember right) was from a day when we had just finished cleaning up our 3 acres. A day when, unlike now, I was able to get out there, and really help around the property. It was a good day, and we were taking a break before we started to get our rakes, mower, and weed-trimmer put up. The way the sun was shining through the trees, I just had to take a quick photograph! Once again... there is a moral to my rambling... go look for some pumpkin-spice creamer or something, while I upload the next photograph...
Don't worry... it's not as bad as it looks. Well, it is... kind of. Some of you that know me, have already seen this photo. This is what happens when a neighbor brings plants from out of state, and with said trees, came termites. It's kind of a combination of termites mixed with water from our washing machine... we have been washing clothes on our porch. Yes... the washing machine is outside on our porch because the floors in our trailer have become so deteriorated that they can't take the motion and rocking of the washer. "What's your point, Wes?"... Even though the tree exploded, and fell over in the middle of the night. It's still a tree! It can be cut up, and used for firewood (easier to deal with the whole "destruction" talk now that it's fallen down, right?) Even though it has fallen down... it can still serve a positive purpose. It kind of looks cool doesn't it? Made me think of the Transformers movies... One more photo to go... almost to the end of my post, and ready for the Big Finale!!
So I know I said to "look up", but sometimes looking down, can be like "looking back". See what I mean? No? I understand dear friends... I can't even understand what I am saying sometimes 😄. We have had trouble seeing things, for what they are. We have been beautiful, and sometimes, we have been broken. But at the end of the day, we can still learn... learn from our mistakes, experiences, or circumstances. Like the photo above, we can "grow again"... The things that are going on around us, have a tendency to trickle into our personal lives... through our fingers, onto the keys, and before you know it... you put the wrong GIF up and hit "enter". See where I am going with this? We let things get to us sometimes. All this really is, is a post about trees on Tuesday. Presented in "Wes Fashion" to take your mind off of the bad things... and think about something different. We will get through this... I am sitting here at my laptop, holding out a hand, or better yet... arms wide open, with a loving hug, and a smile on my face. I hope after getting all the way to the end of my post (you are still reading right?) you were able to smile, nod, or more than likely scratch your head in bewilderment lol...

hahahahaha... love you BroSir, especially your magic!
The further a society drifts from music huh... The music makers drifting from the music or a general drift from music. I haven't heard any REAL good music in a LOOOOONNGG time.
But I need to comment on the main post and not a random image phrase. I love nature and although it is sad when a tree dies I have to thing that it will become a home to animals or insects until it is nothing more then fertilizer for future plant life.
The circle of life thing. 😁😁
Now... a !LOLZ test
Be sure to check your token counts my friend!
!LOLZ
I do every so often but I'm not sure now how many of any particular token is required. They are all different and now for some reason the bots are not telling of lack of amount. If you understand my babble. 🤣🤣

I have read your entire article and it was quite thoughtful. I love to read your words.
One thing came to my mind when I saw this last photo of your article that as plants grow,they need certain things like need to be watered time to time, to take care of them for better growth, just as our today's generation is at the stage where they need our positive behaviour to grow perfectly. They need our appreciation. Just as plants wither when they are not care for, same today's generation go astray if they are not guided well.
Then it is very difficult to bring them back to their original stage.
So,
Better growth is very important for moving forward in life.
(May be you find my answer lil different but you ask for thoughtful day so i can share my thought to see this picture of your article). :)
@faiza34,
Sorry for not sending back a reply! I spent time with my better half as she had a three-day weekend from her job. Your reply was perfect and right in line with the mindset, I was trying to convey. Sometimes, when we use things as examples... in this case, I was using trees to replace the "human aspect" of things. You felt my vibe, and responded in much the same way as I was trying to!
That is exactly right! So many things in nature can be used as an example of our daily loves. We are all one, after all. I appreciate your taking the time to stop by, and leave such a heartfelt reply!

@mondoshawan,
Just my way of trying to send out lifeboats! Sometimes face-to-face doesn't help... so I tried a perspective from a "Trees" standpoint... Hug a tree!!
