The girl was not looking for anything when she found her tree. She was not looking because she was already in the woods and thought that was where she was supposed to be. And when are we ever actively looking for it when we finally get something? We are not. Because we can’t know what we need, until it is already there.
And so, the girl found herself unawares when the tree appeared in front of her suddenly, as though by chance. But what the universe has in store for us is never by chance. The tree appeared in front of her, and she found what she didn’t even know she needed. What she didn’t even know she was waiting for.
The girl wound herself around the roots of the tree, and in return the tree sheltered her. Its leaves covered her and its branches protected her, keeping the demons at bay. And it was in this way that they grew together, each one strengthened by the presence of the other.
When the winds of a hurricane try to rip the tree from the ground, it is the girl that binds it to the earth. And when it storms, the leaves of the tree keep the raindrops from falling on the girl’s head but let only the sunlight through to reach her and warm her skin. Because they love each other.
And the girl is happy.
