NFT – Wishing Tree

Long ago a very old monk stopped part way along his journey to rest his tired legs.  It was a desolate place void of green.  While he sat on the gravel floor of the canyon, he briefly considered how he had arrived in such a place.  The monk began to meditate and consider the situation.  His meditation focused on the things he had experienced throughout his life that he knew were things that humans sought.  After a time, he rose and continued on his journey.  Not long after, a tree grew in the most unforgiving place, right where the monk had sat to rest.  Year after year the tree continues to beat the odds and survive.
