Tree Man The Mossy Tree At Penallta

Amongst the trees you can see shapes and figures that you don’t expect. This scene jumped out at me when I saw it – the moss covered tree, almost human in proportion. I wonder how many Springs, Summers, Autumns and Winters this tree has seen? In an allegory, we too, like trees, grow, we overcome, we have to be resilience to outward change. We witness all this around us too. To me , the tree has its hands up, its arms up, as if in victory, as if in joy. No matter what’s been thrown at it, it won’t back down and lie still. It’s resilient and flourishing.
