Set Adrift On Memory's Bliss

A tree is a sturdy work of nature. It does not topple over nor is it uprooted easily.

One day, Mr Lumberjack chops down the tree. Cumbersome leaves and branches are removed. The trunk is then logged and transported. Along the way, a log is dislodged and it splashes into the adjacent river. Its absence remains unnoticed.

The water has no regard of the tree's former glory. It is now a mere log and nothing but another foreign object on the water surface. As the water ripples, it carries the abandoned log with it.

The log floats along.

With time, it drifts out of sight.
