230426 What I learned in my studies this morning 3

And when the bough breaks, 

The trunk will remain. Still. Still.

The old ent yet lives.

Thoughts:

"The big oak stood in the yard. It had survived the storm but was not whole. Branches and even one big limb lay where wind and lightning had thrown them. Leaves had been torn away, leaving the tree looking like it was dying or dead."

And that, the shedding of parts to save the whole, is how I can survive even such trials as may rend my soul.

Let it go. Let it fall. Let me live.*
