“The redwood is one of the few conifers that sprout from the stump and roots, and it declares itself willing to begin immediately to repair the damage of the lumberman and also that of the forest-burner.” -John Muir
How can you be inspired by the regenerative forces of nature?
Also, BCs Douglas Fir stumps often serve a nurse trees with the new tree growing from the stump. It may need the cones to do so . But I love the persistence strength and nurturing.
