DOWN BUT NOT OUT
This poor old tree, fallen from its graces, eviscerated by rot, has found enough energy from its roots to give rise to new branches and also to support new life in its empty decaying spaces.
Lesson from nATURE ? Do not forget your roots. Without them you are nothing!

“Survival of the fittest“
Herbert Spencer first used the phrase, after reading Charles Darwin‘s On the Origin of Species,
When I became slow rusty and crusty,
They drove a stick drive through my hard drive-
Like a stab in the back
And tossed me to the cold water of the winter
And now I lie with an empty brain on the dog walk path
With the excrement of some wild animal on my face ?
So I said to myself
as I lay in the gutter of life
If I am not for myself who will be for me?
And if I am only for myself ?
What am I?
And if not now when then?
So I did the trick of Watson and Crick
and did CTRL copy paste
and duplicated myself
and did C colon enter
and got rid of the excrement on my face
and did CTRL ALT delete
and deleted the ALT RIGHT CLICK (whew!)
and then did CTRL SAVE ?
which saved my soul
And suddenly there was a turn around and I sat upright in the water
Thank G for Hillel
who inspired my comeback!
