Image Description
A seed is slowly carried by the wind and gently lands on the ground. From it, a tree takes root. Year by year, it grows – a slender young tree, shining with the fresh green of life. Years pass – it becomes large and majestic, reaching the heavens, challenging them. More years pass – it becomes a giant among giants, lovingly fostered by nature's living wood and greenery – a masterpiece of nature.
Nature's Gifts
Birds come to rest on its wonderful branches, cheerful and chirping, filled with songs inspired by the heat of the sun, gusts of wind, and endless skies. Men and women come to sleep in its velvety dappled shade and dream of flowing water, soft dark earth, and home. Even in the midst of winter, so dull and solidifying, the tree has a network of branches and leaves that become a refuge for any traveler, human or animal – a haven for anyone who wearily trudges by.
Endurance
Years pass again – the tree has always been here, sturdy and deeply rooted. Its branches touch the celestial vault, slightly brushing the stars and caressing the moon as it passes by. Its roots go deep into the ground, wrapping around the pulsing rhythm that trembles in the darkness of the depths.
Nature's Whim
And then, with its inherent fickleness, Nature, as easily as it rewarded this tree with various blessings, retracts its gift. It hurls a terrible spear from the heavens. What had asserted itself for centuries from a tiny seed is instantly destroyed in the deadly arc of a brilliantly beautiful, dazzling lightning.
Destruction
It divides. It scorches, white-hot. It shatters into pieces. The earth shakes with devastating blows.
Meaning
Catastrophe, unexpected change, crisis, release of all emotions, taking a blow to the ego, exposure, seeing through illusions. A necessary disruption of the status quo – a violent and dangerous revolution as the only way to break through long-held patterns. Fantasies are shattered by the harsh and ruthless hand of reality. Cleansing and complete separation from the past. Time to re-evaluate the structure of beliefs and outlooks.
