Introduction
I saw this picture shared by The Enchanted Booklet and thought it deserved a story. Obviously, this is an illustration of an original story, but this is my take on what I see in the picture.
The Wisdom Of Nature
He didn't know what to do. He wanted to build a shelter, but respected the trees too much to take their wood and bark without asking, so he came to the tree.
The tree respected that he had asked, and said that, sometimes, branches die and drop from the trees, and these could be used to burn and keep him warm.
While these branches were dead, and the trees no longer needed them, the man could use them to build a home, and that would clear the dead branches from the ground where the tree was.
The man thanked the tree and began gathering up branches and leaves to take them to his meadow, where he would begin to build his future.
He respected nature and turn, nature respected him.

Wild Card Weekend Recap: What Happens Now?
I think I figured out why I love Wild Card Weekend so much. It's because it's the first playoff anything of the calendar year. The NFL season starts in the fall, and once upon a time, the champion was crowned either on or slightly before New Year's. The evolution of the NFL schedule has resulted in the playoffs starting just into the New Year, and currently, the final week of the season falls on the first weekend of the New Year, with Wild Card Weekend coming a week after that. So yes, chronologically, the NFL's Wild Card Weekend serves as the first playoff anything of the calendar year.

Found & salvaged livelihood as well as art. If only it would be so.
What a great lesson we all need to learn. Good job.
Love it, Mike—such a simple lesson about respect.
The image is facinating. There is a real challenge to Micros and this one is thought provoking on so many levels.
This was such an engaging read! I really appreciated the way you presented your thoughts—clear, honest, and thought-provoking. Looking forward to reading more of your work!
That's how it was supposed to be. Take it's resources, but we just crossed limits, and started exploiting.
