A Forest of One Hundred Trees

ONE HUNDRED TREE SAPLINGS PLANTED IN ISRAEL

In the Wasatch Mountains in Utah,
 there is a forest of Aspen comprised of 47,000 trees
 Until they discovered that it was not a forest of trees
but one single organism
joined together by a 
 single root system
connected so strongly, so intimately
 that it forms an entire forest
 Tough, breathing, beautiful,
and the largest organism in the world

Your broken heart is like this giant Aspen
It may feel broken right now, and on the surface,
a few trees, and a few pieces of you
may be missing

But underneath the ground
there are a thousand strong roots
Keeping your heart strong, and beating
Keeping you alive
