Life trees, like actual trees, extend their roots deeper to find water. If a tree has never experienced drought, it must sink its roots several feet deeper before it can get to where it needs to get. But if it has lived through periodic droughts, its roots are already deep enough to reach. That is something that never goes away.
When you have sinked low, for whatever reason, your roots know the way. So it's always quicker to fall back down. Easier to fall even deeper in.
Trees adapt to wind. They spread their roots broader and deeper, establishing firmer foundations. They are better prepared for extreme weathers. Really, they are just stuck. In one square boring place, bogged down. Holding on to something as fickle and slack as soil.
These weathered trees live longer, grow taller, and cast shadows on their weaker neighbors. They become stronger because of their challenges.
But, underneath that thicker skin, they are just rotten and tired.
