Tree of the Heart from The Tree as Symbol Series

“The Tree” in this series, represents the individual person or our society in general.

I am fond of trees for many reasons; I am also very intrigued by the Branching Pattern, of which trees and many other plants are beautiful examples. The branching pattern is found in so many places in Nature, such as in the human body in the circulatory, nervous and respiratory systems.

It shows in geological forms such as the branching of rivers and waterways.

But it is also found in genealogy, in statistical and web pathways and many other ways of organizing information too numerous to mention. Basically, it is about Flow, the flow of physical matter, energy or information, from one place to another.

Here, this Tree is an expression of gratitude to the human heart, both the biological one and the “ heart ” with which we connect with others.
