If you can reach the next branch, you can pull yourself higher. If you can keep doing that, you can climb the whole tree. It reminds you of learning a skill, like all those days you spent practicing the guitar. All you need to do is climb one branch higher. You are so focused on the simplicity of this task, that you almost knock a fig out of the tree as you brush past it. Slowing down, you examine the fig hanging before your face.
