The Biggest Living Thing You've Probably Never Heard Of!
Manage episode 429462787 series 2812562
A little examination of Lady Bugs, Elephants, Dinosaurs, Whales, Redwood Tress, and the Humungous Fungus (Armillaria Ostoyea) in Malheur National Forest.
Pretty crazy that something, so incomprehensibly big, can sometimes go so completely unnoticed. And with other things they can appear so enormous that we can’t see anything else… but in fact are of little real consequence.
It seems that -big and small - really are qualities that are defined by perspective. So, when you find yourself overwhelmed by what seems to be a really big deal – well, It’s not always easy - but perhaps you can find hope, strength, peace, and even solutions by working to find a different perspective.
