Tree of Dreams

Its story and legacy

Photo and edit by Mark Tulin

Once we plant a tree, it becomes a dream We dig the soil of our future, nurture the fledgling daily, watch it gradually take shape, enabled by the sun and rain

We plant with good intentions, care meticulously for the sapling like tending to a newborn, enabling it to blossom with a gardener's love, as it tells its own story

We watch the tree take root, and, over the years, spread out its full canopy Its body anchors itself deep within the ground, absorbing Mother Earth, as its primal source

The tree softens the harsher elements of life — a refuge for sojourners and transients seeking shade The tree becomes our legacy, a gift on public display, quietly changing lives.
