Who put the shingles on this roof?

The answer is an oak tree of course. But think about that for a minute. Think about what it takes to put a roof over our own heads, the effort we go through to give our kids a chance to survive and thrive. Then think of the oak tree, designing and building hundreds of these beautiful structures every year to protect and then release their "children" into the world and we hardly notice.

There is much to be learned from nature if only we slow down and observe.
