How Do Trees Inspire Me?


How do trees inspire me?

The PawPaw flower

Trees inspire me to be grateful for this moment,
to pause and see the beauty as a bud turns into flower.


Carolina Silverbell

Trees inspire me to learn their names.
To explore all the different colors , flowers and fruits they wear each season.

Black Locust Flowers
Trees inspire me to do share with others that we are all one sharing one planet.


Peace,
