For many years a tree might wage a slow and silent warfare against an encumbering wall, without making any visible progress. One day the wall would topple – not because the tree had suddenly laid hold upon some supernormal energy, but because its patient work of self-defense and self release had reached fulfillment. The long-imprisoned tree had freed itself. Nature had had her way.
