#ThursdayTreeLove – 67

“You will never be completely at home again, because part of your heart will always be elsewhere. That is the price you pay for the richness of loving and knowing people in more than one place.”

#ThursdayTreeLove – 67

I did not click this picture. My Mum took this one.

She spotted this Peepal tree at our ancestral village somewhere close to Gonda in UP, India. Mum was visiting this village for the first time since she got married 38 years ago. I don’t think Papa had been to this place too for the last 40 or so years. But I do know that my grandfather was always keen to show us this side of his roots. All the while he was with us, none of his seven children could visit. But 20 years after his death, all his children and their spouses went back for a day to what he would have called this place. His home.

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 July 25, 2019. 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. Please make sure that your post’s link is showing up on this latest edition. 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.

  9. My grandfather emmigrated to the United States and owned a candy store in Brooklyn. He gave it up in his old age – the neighborhood had changed for the worse. I have such a vague memory of going there once. Several years ago we found out the building where my father had grew up had burned to the ground and a new building built to replace it. That must have been such a bittersweet trip for your family. Here’s mine: https://ramblinwitham.blogspot.com/2019/07/summer-camilla-thursdaytreelove.html

  12. I guess your connection to this Peepal tree is beyond the love of trees, Parul. When you add the way Peepal is worshipped in Hinduism, it makes even more interesting.

      1. t’s okay. Really. It’s probably the way I phrased it in the post. AND–the crepe myrtles look the same in New Orleans and Alabama. But YES, do see more of the US. 🙂

  19. Whoa! The tree has claimed that building. 🙂
    Great find.

    I have a few tree posts I need to work on. Let me try to do one this week. 😀

    I hope you are doing well, Parul.
