The Bountiful Trees.

Trees are good metaphors for life and man, the roots being the most vital and crucial, though underground, they perish without them.  As a  silent teacher, a tree has so much to share and teach, so when you walk among trees, if your observe, open your heart and mind, to understand  the ways of life. It gives you lessons of staying grounded and focused, awareness of the self, acceptance of environment; understanding and going through adversities of life, consciously appreciating the wonders of life, strength and the innate ability of self, and finally to be yourself. When you are in doubt or feeling lonely or lost, a walk enjoying nature,  can help connect to yourself and find solace. 


A tree helps us evolve and exist, with priceless truths of how to go through adversities of life, and yet stay calm, patient, flexible,  face difficulties with courage and strength; endure pain and loneliness, keep your steps firmly, rise steadily and wisely to a positive life. A tree is a standing example of humble beginnings and  growing even when  left alone with limited means, teaching that nothing can defeat you, if you don't crumble under troubled times, but gather enthusiasm from adversities. Never to let extremities of life win over you and never ever give up in life. To have a heart like trees and be ever grateful to those who helped you selflessly in life, to enjoy the moments of life, to be  strong and deep-rooted,  strength of roots and values; never let negativity hover around and uproot, that problems and difficulties are an inevitable part of life, but that should not make you steal the happiness of the moment.


The beautiful and breathtaking clicks of Asha and Arun, makes me observe its minute details and delve into the depths of those two photographs.  Some photographs touch you very deeply, making you visualize it and experience it.  Both  clicks  have a lot of similarities, like the archway of trees, where one has a railway track, the other a path. Both pictures are standing testimony of nature and how life coexists in a world of diversities and adversities. For a man, one is a road and the other is a railway track; both leading to a path of beautiful life. A traveler finds it soothing and a solace to travel on a path silhouetted with trees on both sides. 


 The landscape of a natural arch of trees is breathtaking and a sign of exuberance in life. It pleases and tantalizes the core of your life, and watching them through the seasons gives you lessons of the changing seasons of life. It takes you from the comforts of your home...out into the openness of the unknown through the security of the tunnel where bright life and growth awaits. They give shade of life and brightness of positive light depicting that life is a mixture of joy and sorrow. The tunnel gives you the shade in your adversities, to walk through to a bright life that is beautiful and awe inspiring.


A railway track in the middle of an arch of  beautiful trees is breathtaking, with unprecedented curves that brings hope  and a promise of an awe inspiring way ahead. The archway of the lush green trees inspires every traveler to look for a renewed hope at their destination. Sometimes it is a corridor of trees that greet the weary traveler, midst the mundane activities and rat race of life,   evoking a new sense of life. The mystical magic of trees and its natural reserves motivates with its immense enduring strength. Among all the mystical qualities of a tree, the most meaningful and thought provoking one  is the 'The Tree of Life' significance that allure you the most. There is nothing like an archway of  trees, with gorgeous and fragrant blossoms to fill you with energy of life. They promise abundance and the  potential of every season of life, a rare connect to life that is a powerful visual reminder of the energies you are inviting to your world.

Nature is a natural archway to life, an archway formed by stupendous trees add beauty,  serenity and a positive approach to it. It is an elegant archway forming a tunnel and opening out to bright light showing the complexity and simplicity of life. Trees are amazing, fascinating and selfless in giving. The lush green canopy of trees is a sign of life and regeneration. They are a symbol of growth, wisdom,  bounty and strength. They remind you that you are loved unconditionally and you are capable of doing beyond your imagination.


Trees fascinate and amaze me; I  find a rare and special connect and find solace just watching the trees around me.  They are everywhere, yet you tend to just look past them, without a second glance, not appreciating its beauty and benefits. They are life giving gifts of nature. They wrap themselves around adversities to find light and reach the skies.  For me a walk through an archway of trees, amazes me and I find a soulful, calm existence of life; listening to its silence as well as music.

A special thanks to Asha  and Arun for bringing out this note, by sending me the above photographs that reminded me about the value of trees in life.
