When I saw this log, I saw not just an old dead tree but the cycles of nature at work. The elements making up this tree do not go out of existence, they merely change. As we can see, the elements making up the dead tree become nourishment for the moss and ferns now growing from it. Another of the miracles of nature that can only be explained by recognizing the wisdom at work that is beyond the capabilities and wisdom of mere man. Don't know about you, but it humbles me!
