Twisted Tree (The Artist Challenge)

Twisted Tree

“A fool sees not the same tree that a wise man sees.”
William Blake

It seems to me that all trees have something to share with us.

Small

"And the Yopp...
That one small, extra Yopp put it over!
Finally, at last! From that speck on that clover
Their voices were heard! They rang out clear and clean.
And the elephant smiled. 'Do you see what I mean?...
they've proved they ARE persons, no matter how small.
and their whole world was saved by the Smallest of All!' "

~Dr. Seuss (Horton Hears A Who!, 1954)

Embrace

Embrace the universe, expansive.
Our sun, stars and our moon,
Planets that join the Earth,
Embrace the space in between, uniting.

Embrace the atmosphere, surrounding.
Our skies, oceans and our land,
Mountains viewing the valleys,
Embrace natural environments, breathtaking.

Embrace the weather, traveling.
Our clouds, wind and our showers,
Storms meet the serene,
Embrace her patterns, balanced.

Embrace the cultural landscapes, shaping.
Our cities, towns and our farms,
Visible human imprints,
Embrace the texture, varied.

Embrace the animals, wild.
Our sea life, mammals and our insects,
A natural symbiotic cycle,
Embrace all alive with us, surviving.

Embrace the people, everywhere.
Our exalted, common and our unique,
Strangers gaze upon friends,
Embrace the whole of humanity, smile.

Embrace all that exists within.
Our good, bad and our well-meaning,
Eyes mirrored back at us,
Embrace the present, here and now.

First… embrace yourself.
