Strength of Trees
“A tree with strong roots laughs at storms”. – Malay Proverb
The strength of trees.
Roots running deep into the dark soil.
Branches reaching upward into the light.
Ever changing, ever growing.
Leaves budding out into the warmth of spring. Green and vibrant, fluttering in the soft
summer breezes. Bursting into vibrant
hues of oranges and yellows, even as they are beginning their descent from the
branches they’ve called home. We can
learn a lot from the strength of trees.
Our roots produce the branches, stretching out into the sun, craving the
warmth and the light. Those branches
could almost represent the different paths of our life journey. They hold all the beautiful leaves, the
experiences and memories of our lives.
The leaves almost seems to remind us that our lives can withstand the
winds of change, and although different, each is beautiful in its own season.
This piece was created on a RedeemWood recycled wooden
pallet. The trunks are heavily textured
and the leaves were created with heavy watercolor paper. It is finished with a beautiful resin
coating.
