We can all learn a lot from this little tree. It’s growing out of a sliver of masonry over a second story window in the village where I work.
First, you never can tell where you’ll find a little bit of life and goodness. Who knew that if you just took a moment to look up you might find a nice little tree where you least expect it.
Also, if you want to live and grow and be happy, you can do it no matter where your roots are. The phrase “bloom where you’re planted” comes to mind.
Notice, it’s not only surviving – it is thriving.
Life is a series of choices. Always look up, look for the good and do your best to bloom where you’re planted.
How is it doing that without any soil??????????????
Lol. Right? There’s probably some dirt accumulated up there. I don’t know what kind of tree it is but some, especially invasive species, require little earth to grow. I googled it and there are a lot of stories about damage tree roots do to a building as well as how nice it is to have shade in cities that otherwise would just be buildings and asphalt.
Thanks for the article! Nature is amazing!
You’re welcome! It never ceases to amaze!

Freaky!!!!
That is really cool – I find it heart-warming that nature always finds a way.
I hear you on your thoughts about roots. Sometimes we’re not where we want to be but we have to make the most of it while we’re there.
Exactly! We have to at least try to be happy with our lives – even when we aren’t exactly where we wish to be.
Very true words indeed!
