The Rings of Time........
It is difficult to tell the size from the picture but the width of the tree was considerable bigger than I am tall.
The rings on the tree showed what it had endured during its life, much like the wrinkles on my face, where it had good years and bad.
As the tree was 4 times older than me it puts into perspective the brief stay that we mere mortals have on this earth and the importance of spending our time wisely.
Here is hoping your time on this earth is long, productive & enjoyable.
