Standing square in the center of the green carpeted ground, the stately tree stretches it's arms across the sky. Appearing balanced and impressive, a closer look reveals a tiny branch curved around, in nearly a full circle, contrasting sharply with the upward strong straight limbs jettisoning themselves out from the trunk. It's as if the small branch did an "about face," heading in the opposite direction. It's interesting pattern appears out of place from the rest of its company, but compelling to the observer. We can't always take the straight path. It compromises our true identity. The curves that express our journey may be small and pale in comparison to others more noteworthy. Yet they will undoubtedly affirm our destiny, and attract the eye of the discerning.
