Lovely article. I so appreciate how you utilize the tree metaphor to ground you in your work.

I also find that the use of nature-based metaphors are powerful conduits to understanding and framing the complexities of personal experience.

I get such a sense of connection to your story of “being a tree”. I look out over a forest every day and am touched by these silent beings, always part of my day. I feel I can count on them for continuity, strength, and resilience. Thank you for sharing the beautiful images❣️

Hi Megha! I ABSOLUTELY LOVE this! So deeply & beautifully written! It brought tears to my eyes! It articulates exactly how I feel about myself. I found myself telling myself one day, "I am a tree person"! I also have a tattoo of a tree on my back and the word "santulan" written underneath, which means balance in Hindi. Such deep resonance! Thank you, thank you, thank you! 🙏🏼😊❤️
