Quote by Dave McKean

Summary

This quote is about a person who reflects upon their life, comparing themselves to the trees around them. The realization dawns upon them that their life is just one amongst countless others, any of which could have been their own. They acknowledge that their growth and direction in life have been shaped by circumstances and choices beyond their control, much like how a tree's growth is influenced by the environment and the wind that carries them. This reflection highlights the feeling of humbleness and insignificance in the vastness of the world.
