Description
Very little on Earth exudes more strength to me than a large tree standing alone like this large lodgepole pine near Long Lake in Lassen County California. This tree has had to be both strong and flexible to get to where it is in a harsh environment. It is exposed to extreme winds along with temperatures below zero on winter nights to nearly 100 degrees on summer days. I thought of this tree when I read the Churchill quote and thought it just fit.
The entire statement was, “Solitary trees, if they grow at all, grow strong, and a boy deprived of a father’s care often develops, if he escape the perils of youth, an independence and vigour of thought which may restore in after life the heavy loss of early days.”
I can relate to the entire statement, having not met my biological father until I was almost 30 years of age.
