Trees are very
soothing and beautiful creatures.
What are we sharing today?
Today, I want to share with you a different
perspective of the beauty of our environment and homes. First of all, let me
ask you a simple question, have u ever fallen in love with a tree? In this, I
mean a specific tree that you miss every time you are away, this may be a fruit
tree like a mango tree, jack fruit tree, guava tree or any other. This may be
some other tree in your environment or home.
Well, I will assume that you have answered with
a yes, or a no. my answer is a yes, I do miss that beautiful mango tree in my
father’s compound, the comfort it give me after consuming a kilogram of sweet
potatoes at lunch is never equaled. Then there comes the yielding season and
the fruits pop in. when we were young, we attempted to keep our eyes open till
we notice a mango changing color from green to ripe yellow, but we never
succeeded of course. Somehow, those mangoes are tricky and shy somehow, they
only ripen at night in the dark when no one is watching them.
Here is some historical perspective.
In Africa, every day is tree day, from morning
to evening. Elders lie under tree canopies after a heavy African lunch to get
some fresh air, magically, the trees do provide the freshness and before you
know it, you are being soothed to take quick nap of which most of us do fall
for.
Trees are a creature you look at and you get
relieved of all the stresses of life. The way they swing swings away all the
misery from your brain. Trees give us free oxygen, what a blessing, free
oxygen.
I thank you trees.
SAVE A TREE, SAVE A LIFE
