The moment they fall to the ground and uprooted, does it mean they´re totally done with life? Is there actually beauty in a dead tree?
While everyone else is crazy squaring and displaying their perfect, beautiful, green and colorful trees, I tought I might share that it´s still wonderful to ponder on the wonders of a dead tree.
It´s ain´t totally dead yet– dead trees may not be the most attractive part of a forest, they are essential to its health. As dead wood is decomposed (by fungi, bacteria and other life forms) it aids new plant growth by returning important nutrients to the ecosystem… or simply a wildlife nesting site.
“Trees exhale for us so that we can inhale them to stay alive. Can we ever forget that? let us love trees with every breath we take until we perish…”
-Munia Khan

Good point! My sweetheart rarely passes a dead tree snag without wishing it was in his garden.

What a great quote! I was talking to Becky earlier today about 2 carob trees that had to be cut down, but one refuses to die.

Yes, a dead tree isn’t truly dead, it still gives us so much! Thanks for reminding us of that 🙂
