“We do not grow absolutely, chronologically. We grow sometimes in one dimension, and not in another; unevenly. We grow partially. We are relative. We are mature in one realm, childish in another. The past, present, and future mingle and pull us backward, forward, or fix us in the present. We are made up of layers, cells, constellations.”
― Anaïs Nin
I clicked this picture in a Mango farm and when I looked at this one, I could not believe this was a Mango tree. So different from how trees are yet bearing fruits and standing strong. We are all different but who ever we are, the way we look doesn’t define our qualities.
Thursday Tree love is a photo feature on this blog hosted on 2nd and 4th Thursday of each month. The next edition will be live on August 9, 2018. If you would like to play along, post a picture of a tree on your blog and link it back to this post.
If you don’t see the pingback, please leave a link to your post in my comments section. I will link your posts on my blog in the next edition and spread some love. Let’s come together to appreciate the beautiful nature around us.
Before you go, don’t forget to check the lovely trees shared on #ThursdayTreeLove – 43:

Beautiful. We had a mango tree like this in my paternal grandparents’ home, Parul. It was our favourite tree – always yielding lovely green mangoes (we didn’t wait for them to ripen!) and the perfect tree for jhad bhandar!

What a lovely back story Parul. Yes we are all unique, in our own different way, aren’t we, even if we belong to the same tribe. Linking up with my post here:

Mango trees can not survive the winters where I live in the Northeastern United States. I’ve seen some in Florida arboretums – to me, it is an exotic tree. I remember what I’ve seen as small trees. Yours is incredible! My post: http://ramblinwitham.blogspot.com/2018/07/the-literary-tree-thursdaytreelove.html

Thank you Alana! Mango trees are very common in India but this that I saw was unique in its shape.

I wish we humans could understand this very simple thing that we are all unique and that we all have some unique “gift”. Unfortunately, we all judge each other and fail to see the unique aspect of someone. This is true, everywhere be it corporate world or family. And with this we bring so much misery into this otherwise beautiful world.
Thanks for the link-up, Parul. I’m could not participate this week even though I did have picture to share, so I shared it on IG. Hopefully, next time! 🙂
