The Tree

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.
