THE TREE OF LIFE!

 

 

THE TREE OF KNOWLEDGE!

 

 

 

THE TREE OF LIFE….

This healthy specimen was a sturdy Sapling when Christ walked the

Earth….

....it was a mature Tree when the Phoenicians came to the New

World….

It was a growing Giant when the Vikings made their epic voyages….

.

It was a Giant when Columbus came to the America….

…and when the Europeans came in droves to California in the

1800’s and tried to harvest this Tree’s Brothers, they found it too big

a task with too many broken Trees to be profitable….

It was still a Giant when in the 20^th Century, European World Wars

ravaged the land….

It was standing tall when, as a high school student, I visited on a 

February day. Snow was six feet deep and it was Raining “cats and 

dogs,” the Sun was breaking through the Mist and red color flooded

the Land….

 

I have never gone back again....

....but it still stands tall. If this creature could talk, oh, what a Story it

would tell about the comings and goings of us all….
