Piano Teacher's Blog

Note - This section of the website is not limited to piano lessons material. You'll find a little bit of everything here. It's simply a place for me to share my personal life and thoughts with my students. If you're interested, please feel free to dig in and get to know a crazy piano teacher from Oregon!

Tenacious Tree

Today I stopped my truck, jumped the fence and had to take some pictures of this amazing tree. Look at the trunk - it's almost completely broken. And yet the tree thrives!

Broken Root

Look at the stump on this tenacious tree - almost completely broken. At the risk of sounding way too dramatic, it reminds me that no matter what your circumstance, your age in life, your personal situation... it's never to late to bloom.

Colossians 3:23 "Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men..."

Teaching piano

What's with the super trees around here?

To the right is another one we found on the backside of Mt. Ashland (Oregon). My son Nate climbed up just to show you how big this rock is. It's got to be at least 8 - 10 tons and is being held up - year after year - by that small tree.

 

Another amazing tree
