January 25, 2011 I pass this tree on a daily basis, but today it struck me.  I actually looked at it and paid attention to it.  It’s quite an eyesore, but I like it.  There have been plenty of days I have felt like this little ugly tree.  There are hundreds of trees, bushes, shrubs, etc. on campus, and this is probably the saddest looking one there.  In a way, I respect this little tree.  Maybe I’m making a mountain out of a molehill, but I think the deeper metaphor of this ugly little tree is quite substantial.  I wonder if it will look any better in the Spring when it gets leaves…
