The Tree Sets Sail

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

The Tree sets sail; how absurd is that!  Well, perhaps you remember that in this series, The Tree is a symbol for the individual and /or for our society, even our “world”.  This is the world of myth, after all, so a tree can sail!   Here, the Tree is not adrift; its own branches and leaves are its sails. It has left its safe harbour and is setting out  on a voyage into unknown waters.

The real voyage of discovery consists not of seeking new  landscapes, but of seeing with new eyes. – MARCEL PROUST

Every day is not just another assignment. It is a small but contained voyage of discovery- DAVID DOUBILET

There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which, taken at the flood, leads on to fortune; Omitted, all the voyage of their life Is bound in shallows and in miseries. We must take the current when it serves, or lose the venture                    – WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE
