Question

I'm the tallest of the tall,

yet I can be the shortest of them all,

I'm alive day in, day out,

there is no stopping me.

I grow, then I fall.

There is no stopping me unless you pull the plug,

turn off the switch, pull me back.

If you do, fair warning, you will kill us all.

If you don't, however, you, and everyone else, will be alive

day in, day out.

I'm the tallest of the tall,

yet I can be the smallest of them all.

There is NO stopping me.

the sun is tallest of the tall at high noon, shortest at sunrise and sunset. If we could somehow pull the plug on the sun we would die, and if we don't we are alive "day in, day out".

forest

tiniest acorn

tallest oaks

always alive

if we pull the plug on the cycle, we not only kill trees, but ourselves.
