Shadow Tree, SOLD.

"Resting with the Shadow Tree"

(A (very) short story by Kelly Gibbons inspired by the painting )


It is time to rest. Rest does not mean you are done, it means you are taking a break. It is the time to replenish, restock, and be ready for growth. Nature is a wonderful guide. There is a time to grow, a time to bloom, a time to harvest (reap the rewards), and a time to rest. These seasons work together harmoniously, and each is a necessary step. A tree does not arrive fully-grown with all its leaves, and we do not arrive fully formed either. To flourish, we must also go through the steps. Life is a continuous growing and learning process with varying periods and speeds of growth and rest. Learn to move with the flow. During the fast paced frantic growing and blooming times, hold on to the knowledge that rewards and rest are on the way. And, during the slow times enjoy the quiet and peace. Do not worry that you are standing still. This means you are tired and need to rest. Relax. Regroup. The growing season will be here sooner than you know.
