Life Overcoming Adversity

“Pine is born to a cleft in stone, and makes the most of it. Whitebark is most primitive: the cones must rot before the seeds can split and live. As in the parable, one fell here on stony ground. Unlike the parable, this tough seed lived anyway.”
– Kim Stafford, “Pine, Fir, Cedar, Yew,” from Having Everything Right: Essays of Place
