November 12, 2013 - Lovely Giant

Often when I hike, I end up on the Jimmy Fox trail south of Signal Point.  Along this trail stands a beautiful old tree that is full of burls.  It is so twisted and knobbly that I am fascinated with it.  It is so big, that I cannot get my arms around it.  The burls are cause by old injuries... losing a branch.  I find that I can't stop looking at it or thinking about it.  It is lovely, and.... it is an old giant.  I think I have shown it the respect it has earned.  

"The object of art is not to reproduce reality, but to create a reality of the same intensity"   Alberto Giacometti

Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I think others can to
