No Process Can Compete with the Slow Process

Sometime ago The Creator planted the trees, all kinds, from Siberian Larch in extreme cold conditions to a Palm tree on the tropical islands. Depending on the area in the world they grew, looked and had different characteristics. These trees stood tall. Tree bases have been discovered to be as large as 2 to 8 miles wide, so you can only imagine the height. There’s stories that in America a squirrel could travel from one end of the country to the other, branch to branch without ever touching the ground. These trees grew slowly over time, most likely fought for light in a crowded environment while still becoming gargantuan structures that provided the world with wonders. Fast forward to modern times where more than enough of those original trees and their offspring have been decimated by man and machine. It’s gotten so bad man had to replace these trees in order to keep supplies like lumber in stock. In need of a fast turnaround the newer trees were engineered for fast growth by being strategically planted with enough space in between each other to not have to fight over sunlight. The observation of the newer vs the old trees is there’s a difference in quality, strength, straightness, durability and the less likeliness to rot. Perhaps the fight for the light and the super slow undisturbed growth gave the original trees a strength and endurance that the newer trees do not possess. The original trees compared to the newer grew with time, slowly and intimately where as the newer trees grew against time because of supply and demand.
