​PEACE IN TREES
​
Trees remain significantly more than mere flora standing majestic amid our landscapes. Their soothing presence relics perpetual strength, resilience and growth. With their extending roots reaching far below the earth, likewise towering branches stemming high above the sky, Trees exemplify the quintessence of life, emphatic of the interconnectedness of all. Trees awaken a sense of humility, as they present as silent witnesses of truth, as to the natural laws of nature and simplistic essence of creation. Trees bestow shade, shelter and oxygen to life, yet beckon not the adoration of the life in which it tends. Therein, may the symbolic truth of the Peace Symbol be illuminated, as the Tree of Peace, and respectively the Tree of Life. Consequently, the mass of humanity unfortunately remains unaware that the current symbol in use is wrong and must be turned upright.​
