The trunk reminds me of the Tree - An Unforgettable experience in Nature

There is a tree that was in my surrounding, it was a wild tree that has big branches, it covers so many people, when the sun is high, most of the time, I go under the tree to get shade, when I feel like looking at the cars passing by on the roads and at the same time, getting some fresh air, once I was there and the tree leaf fell next to me, I picked it up and looked at it closely, then I reasoned within my heart, "for a long time, I have been admiring this tree and sometimes I come here to take a shade, but I have never looked closely at the branches and leaves of this tree".

I spent a long time looking at the leaf, someone who saw me looking at the tree leaf would think I was crazy but I wasn't, in that short time, I was connecting my most intimate being with nature, to feel and take care of the fallen tree leaf because that was how I felt, how the leaf has to fall and why not continue up there with other leaves?, I slowly understand that's nature, "it grows beautifully and with the passage of time its life ends" no plant lives forever, not even the leaves of plants, it lived and will die one day.

Nature is natural, in the sense that, it beautified and faded, i was still around when electric pools passed through the street and the local authority, gave orders that nothing should be like a blockage to electric pools, some numbers of young men were paid some amount of money to cut down all the trees planted, in any enclosure that might want to stand as a blockage to the electric pools.

This is how this beloved tree that gave me shade was cut down and to this day, I still miss the presence of the tree, most of the time, I miss the tree so much is when I notice that my room is a little hot. I will look out the window and the tree will not be there.

I visit the place where it was planted maybe if another of the trees is growing on the place, but it's sad not to see anything, none of that kind plani is coming out of the soil. In that place right now, only the termites come out of the ground in the morning to see the sunlight, but I can't play with those termites because they will bite me.

I went there today and took the remains of the tree home, I realized, the trunk of the tree should be used as firewood for cooking, this is how this big tree in my locality has related me to nature.
