Redwoods

Last August Leslie with the help of her parents sent me a redwood burl. It was to be keep moist. A few day ago it sprouted new shoots. When I thought of them they gave me a peculiar feeling. Something has started that could be alive more than 2000 years. Along Skyline Drive near San Francisco is a redwood that is more than 2000 years old. When you stand near Methusulala you think about all that tree has been through. It is at a high enough elevation to see a lot of changes. Those little green beginnings gives me thoughts that are hard to explain.
