Reminds me of Oldest most beautiful Beings alive - Bristlecone Pines that grow 7 to 9000 ft. high on the North Slope in acidic soil where nothing else can grow. Methulsah the oldest is over 4800 years old and some "dead ones" (still beautiful) are up to 9000 years old. ASTOUNDING BEAUTY ALSO! sharing thanks!

Out of suffering have emerged the strongest souls; the most massive characters are seared with scars. Kahlil Gibran

thanks Noy Traba-g: Very little grows on jagged rock.
Be ground.
Be crumbled,
so wildflowers will come up where you are.

When we long for life without difficulties, remind us that oaks grow
strong in contrary winds and diamonds are made under pressure. ~ Peter Marshall
