I didn't know this, but the tree shown in this photo is the oldest one on Dunhua Road for a large stretch. It's a major arterial road through Taipei, so a lot of trees had been cut down in favor of expanding to fit more buildings and shops. This one miraculously escaped all of that.

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle. - Albert Einstein

Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies. - Shawshank Redemption

We walk through our lives so focused on our daily tasks and griefs. It's important to realize that there is always hope, because without fail, there will always be a touch of color - in a hazy shade of winter.
