Tree of Life :: Scotland

“An individual has not started living until he can rise above the narrow confines of his individualistic concerns to the broader concerns of all humanity.” -MLK Jr

The idea of the tree of life, in all of its various manifestations, is that all forms of creation are connected. That’s such a powerful sentiment, and has always resonated strongly with me.

It is a reminder that we are all brothers and sisters, and each of us has the opportunity every day to make a positive impact on each other.

It is a reminder that the things we do to our natural world, both good and bad, have a far reaching ripple effect.

Ultimately, our thoughts and actions have a greater effect than we likely realize or intend. The tree of life is a reminder that we are not alone in our journey, and to bring our best selves every day, so that as a whole, we can continue to raise ourselves up. 😊

Now the nerdy stuff: this is two exposures, one for the foreground, one for the sky, with a sprinkle of fairy dust on top. 😉
