That Day In The Forest
That Day in the Forest
I remember that day in the forest,
Savouring a sense of pride,
After taking the leap of faith.
Savouring a sense of pride,
After taking the leap of faith.
Called to honour trees, to give voice to others
Who silently appreciate their healing capacity in their own lives.
I could have ignored those nudges,
Too daunting to consider.
When I listened to my heart and took the plunge,
It felt right.

The Sacred Lives of Trees,
The biggest collection of paintings I'd ever created.
I was in the infancy stage of exhibiting my art work.
Once a teacher of maths and science, hah!
Leaving a secure job and career is not an easy thing to do.
There's no safety net when you pursue an artistic path
Courage is required.
But there is one surety,
Priceless riches of mind and spirit.

I remember that day in the forest,
Wondering who would come to my exhibition.
I’d already had a successful crowd-funding campaign
To generate awareness for my launch.
The support I experienced was tremendous.
It was like hearing trees talking back to me
Through the people who applauded my efforts.

That day in the forest, I thought about the adventure of it all,
The gigantic butterflies that had lived in my tummy for months,
Putting me on the edge of my seat.
The mystics said it was a good sign,
They called it ‘an opening'
An 'expansion of the soul'.
It felt like a never-ending fright.
I stuck with it and completed my mission.

Here I am standing in the forest,
Days before my exhibition,
With a lot of love in my heart,
Soaking up the positive energy of the adventure
And paying homage to
The Sacred Lives of Trees.

Authentic Path Inspiration
Following your Authentic Path takes courage. Often we need some inspiration and guidance on our way to becoming more open and purposeful. Trees have been instrumental as healers in my own journey. I invite you to check out my paintings and prints from The Sacred Lives of Trees collection. Add vibrancy of colour and nature inspiration to your home or workspace or consider adding my tree art to your gift list for special celebrations.
