Death and Life

A thunder storm sat over the region on Saturday afternoon, shook the house, sent drenching rain, and kept me from gardening.  When I was walking into work after the long weekend, I saw that it had struck a tree, tore it to bits, leaving a trunk standing about half-way, taking out the plants below in the process.  The chainsaws and mulcher running in the distance, turning it into food for other trees.

Destruction, like fire and wind and lightning, and life, all tied up.

Always liked this tree, RIP you big Sequoia.
