During the ice storm of 1960, a tree on our property fell across the stream. By the time we built on our lot in 1965, it was growing limbs upward like this tree. It was still alive, still growing, but it had also adjusted to its new situation. And life went on.
Look how healthy this "fallen" tree is! It's beautiful, even though this is not how it was "supposed" to grow. Sometimes life throws a curveball, and you've just got to adjust. Life changes. Even if it isn't what you planned or expected, it can still be beautiful.
As I studied this photo, I realized the shade provided by this current configuration is even greater than if the tree had grown straight up.

I don't think I've ever seen a tree do that; it's awesome
