Lone Tree

A greeting card for every day featuring a lone tree in a snow-laden, wintery landscape.

The lone tree is a powerful symbol of resilience in the face of adversity. Philosophically, there is always a tussle between self-reliance on the one hand and realising on the other hand that we cannot be self-reliant and are part of the continent, a piece of the main.

The figure of Atlas holding up the whole world on his shoulders teaches us that while it is possible, it is also possible to break under the strain. For us humans, what does not bend will break.

If the tree could move, we would invite it gently to come in from the cold. As it is, it represents a lesson that we can take to heart.

Of course, it is just a tree – no more and no less. It doesn’t need to justify its existence and it doesn’t need us as much as we need it.
