1. The Tree
1 year ago
This film was made as part of WHERE THE HEART IS, part of the CIVIC LIFE project.

Discipline highlighted my childhood with "twenty-four-seven" tailor mother, grandmother and siblings, but love dominated most at Sunday picnics around this tree. Teacher-training skills helped me etch its beauty in charcoal, and later my children with their
cousins played around it. Such memorable embers keep my heart aglow continually.

    Yes mummy, indeed that tree represents where the heart is - Grounded, life giving, gratituous, out-reaching, across 4 generations. It has given us solace and joy and not to mention exercise (when climbing it). Hugz and kisses!

    Mummy, enjoyed the commentary!! i remember climbing those branches as well with alicia & marcel during our excursion to the Botanic Gardens. the tree's charm today lies so much in its twisted aged limbs. i wonder how many stories its been a part of.
