Life – Tree By The Water

Posted by kairospix (Singapore, Singapore) on 23 October 2007 in Plant & Nature and Portfolio.

When I look at this shot a lone tree by the water the first thought that comes to my mind is that it is so close to the water and I wonder how it can still stand when the high tides and the winds that beat on it day in and day out.

The only conclusion is that it has sunk its roots real deep into the earth giving it a solid firm foundation.

Reminds me of these words….

Therefore everyone who hears these words of mine and puts them into practice is like a wise man who built his house on the rock. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house; yet it did not fall, because it had its foundation on the rock. But everyone who hears these words of mine and does not put them into practice is like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain came down, the streams rose, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell with a great crash.

Let your roots sink deep.
