Networking

A tree is no doubt a social creature whose life finds meaning in its relation to other tree beings. It develops cramped and distracted kinetic nature of networking, which we call roots, and ours fiber optics.

I wonder during this persistent pursuit, does it crazy about number of likes.


Trees and human beings are alike; everybody partakes of society, they facebook each other, that sounds interesting enough, and worth the effort to write a thesis.

The networking looks complicated on the surface, and is even worse going underground, in which spyware, malware, phishing, virus etc spread around.

This is the life of a tree.

  5. Podoba mi się Twoje porównanie człowieka do drzewa. W jednych i drugich jest coś skomplikowanego. Pozdrawiam.
    I like your comparison of man to a tree. In both groups there is something complicated. Yours.

  7. It's true, you really never know what's going on underground in the forest of the trees or the electronic forest of our lives. But I don't think the trees obsess about the number of likes; they are too old and wise for that. (Even I don't care about that and I'm not QUITE as old as they are.

  9. Another MASTERFUL "show-and-tell".

    Whoever has weeded (deeply) and/or turned soil, understands this weaving in your post. And when I walk after a storm to discover what once was hidden from view--intricately-woven root systems of huge uprooted trees, I can do nothing but marvel.

    Maybe we already communicate...unknowingly?

  10. Those roots must have sucked all the nutrition in the soil. what a network.

  11. Seeing all the roots on the ground gives the trees so much more interest - great analogy!

  29. My tree just likes to be
    hugged--and watered.

    Hre is what I "know" about trees. I have a few which were going to be perfect bushes, about 3' tall.

    Now they are THIRTY-THREE FEET TALL!

  30. Interesting comparisons!! Great pictures, rainfield....such tangled, tortuous roots. Be careful out there. It's precarious among all those convoluted and twisting pathways.
