My father once told me a story about an old redwood tree - how she stood tall and proud - her sprawling limbs clothed in emerald green. With a smile, he described her as a mere sapling, sheltered by her elders and basking in the safety of the warm, dappled light.

Together, they tore relentlessly at her pretty boughs, until she felt as though her heart would split in two.
