Struggle

“The wind’s been beating that tree down since the day it was born, but it refuses to fall. The struggle gives it its beauty.”
~Jeannete Walls, “The Glass Castle”~

It is amazing how some trees continue to grow out of a rock and sideways to.

Great find. There are a couple of others that are following the lead.

Wonderful sense of strength -- and I love the book The Glass Castle!

Thanks so very much for your comments about my photo of the sideways-growing tree. I suppose that just like people, some have been given a harder lot in life than others.
