The Oak tree grows for 200 years,
lives for 200 more,
then dies for 200 years.
I like the symmetry of that. It feels like the rhythm of a lifetime. Our human life is much shorter. How much more should we respect the tree's lifespan. Like the medieval cathedrals, should we not think of our forests like this. We don't expect to see the results of our plantings, but we do it for the future generations anyways.
