Transcript
This is the Daily note from jamesabrown.net I just learned something fascinating about evergreen trees.
Speaker A:They're a symbol of Christmas, of course, but that's only part of it.
Speaker A:For cultures across ages, these trees represent life persisting through winter.
Speaker A:And who doesn't heed that?
Speaker A:I certainly do.
Speaker A:This time of year, I mourn the lack of sun, the long creeping dark.
Speaker A:As an old friend put it, we bring these trees inside when everything outside is dying to see the green, when the world is brown.
Speaker A:This decoration in defiance.
Speaker A:It's proof that life continues when the winter slows everything down.
Speaker A:The tree isn't the point.
Speaker A:The green is we persist.
Speaker A:And that, my friends, is worth celebrating.
Speaker A:On that note, I'm James A.
Speaker A:Brown, and as always, be well.
