I've seen that video and loved it too, Sam.
You said something that caught my attention. That tree isn't special. Every tree in the forest has birds sitting on its branches, animals scratching themselves on its trunk, and so on.
But, because I chose to pay attention to THAT tree, I assume it's special. Somehow my watching it bestows importance on it.
That is so egotistical and arrogant of me. And ridiculous, of course.
And I didn't even realize I had that attitude, until you mentioned it and caused me to think about it.
My ego is comprised of layers and layers and layers. I dare say it's a lifetime's work to unpeel them, and the job is never done. :-)

That's ok! A tree is a good thing to put your attention on anyway. And we're a part of this whole thing too. I'm glad my post made you think a little more about it. Thanks for your comment!
