New Growth

[Colin_Ginger 76]

If one were to sit in a forest they would notice that there are an abundance of large trees shielding our eyes from the sun's hot rays. But the shade that aids us, prevents the growth of other trees. Such trees grow old, and began to wither, yet they stay, blocking new plants from germinating. Soon the old trees sap all the nutrients from the earth, and the once fertile land drys up.

And then fire comes. With fire, those old trees release the nutrients they have stored and share it back with the ground. The sky once thick with leaves now is open and full of new prospect. New trees grow in it's place, and the forest becomes alive again.

 

What has happened is a grand tragedy. The Pontiff was murdered. Yet with each tragedy is a silver lining. Perhaps with the death of an oak, a grand sequoia can grow in it's place. Let us look at each thing the creator does as a blessing to us. I am not pardoning the man who did this crime, or saying his actions are at all justified. What I am saying, is to look at this great tragedy as it is, a tragedy, and then move on. For with each death comes new life for the world.
