We Could Learn from Trees
What if we reflect on what trees teach us? A deep root connection, knowing that our differences bring what is needed for survival, sharing food, resources, positivity, and elevating happiness for all. What if human beings treated each other in this way? Always looking out for those who need a little extra to help to thrive. It’s actually very simple. We just need to talk to each other, accept each other for our individuality, share the “forest” – our planet – and treat it as the precious resource it is for us all. We could live in a more peaceful, happy world. So, the next time you pass a tree. Stop. Breathe in. Breathe out. Say thank you. It’s giving you life, love and happiness with each breath. Take these lessons and apply them in your life. The seeds you plant will grow happiness in everyone you touch. ∎
MELISSA GRAVES BROWN
Artist
www.melissagravesbrown.com “This body of work I have created on landscapes is with a focus on imagination and attention to nature. I paint mostly from the mind's eye, however, I am inspired by Idaho's great landscape and my home. I have been painting with a freshness that is emotionally and intuitively driven. I hope to capture the interest of the viewer with nuances and subtle layering of paint. Colour remains my subject only pushed into the shape of the landscape. Eventually, the painting takes on a life of its own.”
