Have you come face-to-face with the largest living thing on earth?
This is something I can brag about! I HAVE COME FACE-TO-FACE WITH THE LARGEST LIVING THING ON EARTH!
Ha! Although a lot of people have seen it, I am still proud to have been in its presence. A majestic thing it is to behold. A behemoth and towers over all of us, we can only strain our neck so far just to see how tall it is. Not only is it tall but it is wide as well. It has no covering, in a familiar sort of way, but it is clothed in earth colors. A reminder that it is a child of the earth. It is amazing to know that it is still growing and once more mother earth is nurturing it.
It has seen the birth pangs of this nation and this world. It saw the changes both good and bad. It was and still is a silent witness to what humanity has done will do to mother earth. But it is majestic even after 2,700 years.
It even has a name - General Sherman. If you want to know why click here.
And I had the pleasure of meeting the granddad of all living things with my family.

Of course, we need to thank Manong Roger D. Tolentino who took us to the scenic routes.
