This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for December 21, 2008:
Nature's greatest hardship. It starves. It shrivels. It is engulfed in white, blinding powder, which it can never truly shake off. The sunlight is hardly visible beyond the placating swarm of little white men. Struggle as she may against the winds brought on by the force and exhuberance of her invader, her leaves, trunk, blades and all her defenses are torn down, crushed under the weight of millions of ruthless invaders. She waits. She waits. She waits. And then, after years, after dreaming of awaking to see her children bloom, after crying under gray, empty skies, she awakens to a milky spool of sunlight spilling in, to the gusto of the wind lessening into a biding breeze, to the little white men's retreat into her roots.
