Natural embrace

Source: Own
On other occasions I have commented that nature never ceases to amaze me and some time ago I came across this image in a park of Ingenio.
The image is clear, a tree that hugged a palm tree to stay standing and not lose its balance and continue living and growing, although later, with the passage of time, ended up dying and the palm tree continued its way to the skies.
How many times have we needed someone like that palm tree! A friendly hand to help us, to hold us when we are about to fall into the abyss and to save us.
The sad thing is that we don't always find that log to hold on to, to keep us on our feet and follow our way with a firm floor and we get lost and, many times, we don't know how to get back.
Although it can also have another reading, that of impossible love, that misunderstood love, in the style of Romeo and Juliet; Montescos and Capuletos who did the unspeakable to prevent their love.
That embrace can mean the unconditional love of the tree for the palm tree, a love without any condition; only the natural and great love.
In short, nature gives us lessons because it knew, they have been learning from their mistakes for millions of years and we must learn from it.
