Tony Ryan, 4 months ago

Good points. Also feel that the control we place on others and ourselves is stopping us from ever being free in thinking or body. Whilst we feel a need to control we are fearing any loss of control and this fear paralyzes many of us.

micmac, 4 months ago

Being a controling person I ‘ve learned by gardenning that I can’t control a thing.I was afraid of to much wind, rain , sun and trying controling my fears, I give them to much power and I kept them alive.Nature is just perfect like humans with their storms,their tears and their deep emotions.Thanks for sharing your thoughts Tony xxx

madvlad, 4 months ago

this is so spiritual and meaningful to me,when people would talk of god,and how they packaged god, i,d always point to a tree, and say how can you comment on the mind of god, when you can,t even make a simple thing like a tree, we are in awe of our being here, if we,d only look, we have a free ride for a few years in paridice, why not be free, and just? love being here, and stop wanting it all, lovely art! work micmac

Tony Fallon, 4 months ago

Yep lifes been great since I’ve given up big chunks of controlling…frees up so much time to enjoy other things…. and the tree is still my favourite structure. Great Image by the way :)

Joanne Bradley, 4 months ago

Powerful image! Definitely conveys the importance of listening and contemplating what the earth has to say. Your words are so right and you definitely have a talent to transfer your words into a stunning visual!
