A lady in her eighties was telling me of her travels.
She told of seeing the Redwoods.
She said, "When I stood beside a redwood, I felt humble."
I asked about how a redwood tree could teach humility.
She answered by saying, "Anyone who thinks they are really something should stand beside a redwood. That's what it did for me. It humbled me."
She dabbed the tears away from her eyes and took a deep breath.
I could tell that of her eighty years plus on this earth this had been a very meaningful experience.
I'm so glad she shared it with me and now I'm sharing it with you.
It is a moment of reflection to see ourselves in the true perception of knowing our place in the design of all things.
