The hardy Madrone

by Dan Bue
(Grants Pass Oregon USA)

I was hiking our property, and next to some glacial boulders I found an old Madrone that survived a fire.

The inside was burned out.

Over the next 10 years or so I visited the spot because it felt like a place of strong energy, and it was so peaceful gazing down at the Applegate river.

The tree has long since died and fallen over, but in my mind and heart it will always bring me strength and peace of mind.
