trees in a story about a forest

this sign is posted at one of my favorite hiking spots. it reads:

"valley ponderosa pine trees and other species are being thinned, limbed and released to improve forest health and prevent catastrophic loss of natural resources in the event of a wildfire and/or disease."

our family has forty acres in southern oregon that requires much of this preventative medicine.

pruning as metaphor again reminds me that the thinning in our lives is not only for fruit, but also for saving us and others from greater loss.

we are, after all, as donald miller says, "trees in a story about a forest."
