As is the photo. When I was going through the worst time of my whole life — in a situation I was unable to see a way out of, short of getting hit by a bus and killed — I used to go to the park and stand by the trunk of the biggest trees and look up.
I’d say to each one, “You don’t care about my problems, Tree.” And I took such comfort from it. Because, if the tree doesn’t care, if my problems are irrelevant to the tree, then maybe they’re not that bad?
“Your envy is an arrow” is FANTASTIC.

Thanks, as always. xx
