Tree Nature
Kellie Cranmer is one of the most incredible artists I have met up with here on RB. I have always marveled at her ability to see the lighter side of this existence as well as the rich deep layers of life we are challenged to embrace and perhaps create with.
Her own personal experiences as of late has inspired my own view of who I am as artist as well as my own appreciation for each moment of life here on Planet Marvel!
I went to her PF and saw this piece. I have seen it many times but never commented nor wrote on it. I love this creation. It is so feminine and powerful. I wrote a poem inspired by this work and she has given me permission to add the art to the poem.
Thanks you Kellie!

MOTHER NATURE BY KELLIE CRANMER
Tree Nature belongs to the following groups:
ABSTRACT DIGITAL ART AND WRITING, Art in Math, Core [C.O.R.E], Feminine Intent (LIMIT TWO IMAGES PER DAY), in-between, Light In The Darkness, Nirvana (Only 1 photographic art and 1 written work will be accepted per day ), The Art of Intrigue 2/24, The Healing Journey, THE SISTERHOOD and Up & Coming WritersShe kept growing beyond her means
what I mean is,
she kept growing beyond what she desired yesterday,
she thought
if only,
If only I was … better at this….
Problem was she did become better at everything
she desired to become better at!
and still,
more
would call her forth
like a tree in the forest..
she fell so many times
yet, none seem to hear her
falling
her pain
her fears
except maybe her own heart.
That felt lonely.
Until,
One day she looked deep within
And it was here
She saw and felt
Her tree nature appear
Like a totem
A solemn answer
To the questions she brought
forth
She branched out within herself
And the expectations began to subside
What she discovered was
She was best at growing
Some would call it expanding.
If she could learn to live in the moments
Between desire, expansion desire..
She thought perhaps I could find a balance
Of sorts,
Contentment at best
Liberation from her limitless
Limits!!
After all, she was like a tree
Happiest when she was in the process
Of Becoming!!
It was only in the thought that she needed to arrive
Anywhere
That pain seemed to preside
And fear would rear
So she planted her feet squarely underneath her and
Allowed her tree nature to shine through.
All manner of miracles happened then.
She discovered the art of
Allowing
And her Art, the very core of all that she was and is,
Flourished
Because she knew,
She,
Like a tree,
Just kept on growing,
Until growing became knowing
Knowing,
We are never finished and we are never done.

The eternal visit of the Symbol…
The tree outgrown… outlived…
Difficult to be an acorn..
waiting to be soiled…
strangely fixed on the reluctan tree of fearsf
