A majestic old oak tree stood high on the steep shore of a forest near the seacoast. This tree had lived for 365 years, witnessing the passage of time, the joys of nature, and the fleeting lives of tiny creatures like the Ephemera. He sympathized with the little Ephemera, whose life lasted only a single day. However, the tiny creature replied that the beauty around her was enough to fill her short life with joy and pleasure. The old oak did not understand her perspective. As winter approached, the oak tree, stripped of all its leaves, entered its time of rest and dreamed one final, beautiful dream. What would that dream be? Will the old oak finally realize the true beauty and meaning of life? Will he ultimately become one with the earth? Read this heart-touching story to discover the profound realities of life, time, and the eternal connection between all living things.
