All trees begin their life with beautifully intricate roots that lead to the formation of strong trunks. From there, they branch out with strong limbs that yield intoxicating blossoms, shade leaves, and luscious fruits. The myrtle has a particularly interesting story. Individual trees find each other in the depths of the soil and become one. As they intermingle, they form a trunk full of diversity in color, texture and pattern. If it were not for the unification of the many individual trees, there would be no blossoms, leaves, nor fruit. If one of the trees were to separate from the others, it would hold no hope for survival. The myrtle tree is a symbol for all of humanity. We must come together by means of love in order to produce a more captivating tomorrow. One way to do that is to stop seeing diversity as ugly and to focus on beauty and purpose. This blog is dedicated to doing just that; magnifying the good in all.
"The beauty I see in you is..."
Keep your heart and eyes open.
Sincerely,
The Myrtle Tree Blossom
So beauty-full. I love this fresh perspective on the intricate contections we have as humanity. We don't always see them, understand them, or even know they are real, but as we take time to observe we will grow in understanding and appreciation of them!
