Ancient Forest's never stop growing, some grow for hundreds of years,
1/64 th of an inch at a time. That's patience
Mama, always said, never run, when you can slowly walk thru the forest, and really see what Mother Nature created, one blade of grass and one leaf at a time.
Mama was a wise woman.
One of my favorites of his quotes is "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." I have enjoyed his poetry since I was in High School.
