To add to your Tree metaphor, it might also help to meditate on that thing being taken away. My parent’s big maple began dying of root rot this year and had to be chopped down. They had it the whole twenty years they’ve lived there and it was the shade for their patio. All my mom’s plants are trying to figure out how to survive in that much light. Yes, all the helicopter seeds and leaves were a nuance two times a year, but you really don’t know what you’ve got till it’s gone!
