I have so much respect for the tree.
I marvel at the crevaces and elongated branches.
Reaching up to touch the sky, the tree brings a natural state of reflection and contemplation.

Without the roots, the tree will die.

I may be allergic to every tree, except the Arizona Cypress, but it doesn’t change the fact that anytime I look at one, I’m immediately more calm and at peace.

The tree is a major reason I chose to attend Oklahoma State University, instead of the University of Oklahoma. I’m not a concrete jungle guy.

Zingali needs shrubbery.
Zingali needs grass.
Zingali needs the tree.

Bonus Fact : The tree I’m most allergic to is the Chinese Elm, go figure.
