An experiment was done in the 90’s in a man-made climate controlled dome named the Biosphere 2. It was a research tool so they could create any climate needed for testing. Even to this day it is still the largest closed ecological system ever created. It has a rainforest, ocean w/ coral reef, savannah, fog desert and wetlands. In the attempt to understand how to live in outer space they made quite a few discoveries along the way.
One of the most profound discoveries made by the scientists had to do with the trees. The trees inside Biosphere 2 grew rapidly, more rapidly than they did outside of the dome, but they also fell over before reaching maturation. After looking at the root systems and outer layers of bark, the scientists came to realize there was one thing the environment failed to provide. It was Wind. There was no wind in Biosphere 2 and this led to a deficiency of what is called “stress wood” in the trees.
The question we need to ask ourselves is, are we letting the storms in our life build resilience in us? Or are we spending more time trying to get out of the storms?
