Turning of the Seasons
This theme shows the wondrous cycle of life of trees as the seed is transformed from sapling to imposing heights with roots firmly planted into the earth’s core with the passing of the seasons. There is also the realisation of the importance of lettng go as part of growing up with “one more leaf holding tight,” fluttering in the winds as the turning of me is marked with vibrant colours and whispering leaves.
