‘In the past all of life was based on trees. Their flowers gave us nourishment, their leaves and fibres clothed us and provided us with shelter.
We took refuge on their branches for protection from wild animals. We used wood for heat, and for canes to bear our weight when we grew old.
and to make weapons to defend ourselves…….
We were very close to trees.
Today, surrounded by sophisticated machinery and high-performance computers in our ultra-modern offices, it is easy to forget our ties with nature……The 14th Dalai Lama.

I love trees. I couldn’t agree more with the Dalai Lama. They are not only beautiful, but also useful and strong…
Thank you, Olga:)
And love your trees and seeing how you build up the painting…
I hope you’ll be giving us the Dalai Lama all week! Have a delightful evening.
I just might be doing that:) Thanks Sarah. Have a lovely Wednesday. Janet

My pleasure. It’s so beautiful; the words, and the way you brought the tree to life. 🙂
