The Parabola of a Tree

Most plants and trees turn towards the sun and grow upwards.

But one day on a walk we came across a tree where a branch was in the shape of a parabola – like a shape of a hill turned upside down.

We wondered what had let it to grow downwards? Was the weight of the branch too heavy for those particular years?

The fascinating thing was right before the branch actually touched the ground it once again began to grow towards the sun and had been clearly doing that for years (if you receive our on emotions email you’ll see a picture of the tree on the blog on-emotions.com).

Likely, we’ve all experienced days, months, even a year where it felt like we were growing downwards emotionally. But that tree reminds us life can turn from down to up. Down never lasts forever in nature, or in our lives.
