There was a time

A living tree has grown around and partially absorbed the limb of a dead tree leaning against it.

when nearly everyone shared a knowledge of what the Bible said and an ignorance of what it meant.

Tree looks like it took in a dying refugee, and simply kept on growing.

  It’s a bizarre thing. The old snag isn’t even attached to the ground any more, it’s just resting there, but I’m guessing its roots hadn’t rotted away yet when the living tree began to grow around it, because this is right on top of a very windy ridge.
