Image Description
This Dryad carries the weight of what seems like a miniature world on her back. Her branches droop under the burden of the structures. Supporting and nurturing the beings living in these towers is her duty, nourishing them with the life force that flows through her branches and leaves. Their souls sing up through the foliage from her heart. Yet, a grim cold seeps into her roots, and this load is hard to bear. She moves forward and reaches up, striving towards the Sun for the warmth that can help endure the dark times. The lights on the wands burn dimly, as if only embers remain from what once was a roaring furnace. There are so many demands and dependencies. She does her best, trying to keep her head up to maintain this center of creativity and support.
Meaning
Overexertion, taking on too much, burdened with huge responsibilities, understanding of responsibility, undergoing difficulties. Perhaps the little creatures living among her branches do not need the constant vigilance and nourishment that she deems her duty. Yet this is given freely, the burden is taken willingly, and she knows she possesses the inner strength to carry it and to blossom.
