How long do I have out here? I asked the park ranger as he helped me launch into the water. As long as you want he said. Enjoy it. And I did. I spent the most beautiful morning kayaking with discover_sc last weekend. I looked for alligators that the ranger said “are just the type you would think were cute” 🤔 but mostly just looked at this tree.⁣
⁣
The trees in the south have a soul. I can literally feel them when I’m looking up. They have seen things. They’ve survived. ⁣
⁣
I always think about the phrase — the highest trees endure the harshest winds. Their leaves may sway, but they’re still standing. Still rooted. Still there. ⁣
⁣
No matter what’s happened or what is to come this week remember you are like these trees. Tall and mighty. Rooted. Still standing after the winds. ⁣
⁣
And beautiful. ⁣
