Beautiful Gift Trees
We don’t necessarily thin of bringing trees with us to the hospital, when we visit a friend or loved one that’s sick or recovering there. But when you think about it, it does make a lot more sense. When you bring a tree, you bring something that’s alive. You bring a whole system, not just sampling of what was a bush. And it isn’t just a superficial thing either. These gift trees that more and more folks are bringing to their friends and close relatives is matter of giving a true gift, not just a token, but something substantial, that’s alive and well, and thriving… It’s a way of almost even giving a person a pet, without actually giving a person an animal. This person can, over a prolonged period, care for the tree like she would a pet. She could nurture and prune the tree to the height and width of her desire.
