[[Directions and Lives]]
This tree by the Athenian Acropolis symbolises to me a question which we all ask at some point:
'Where am I going'?
The roots are firmly planted in the soil, yet the trunk goes in two different directions. They are like the paths which we can take within our careers, or the choices we make without necessarily being conscious of having made them.
One path certainly looks better than the other: it's thicker; more full of life.
Yet notice that the foliage at the top is evenly spread between the two trunks, and looks equally luscious no matter which side:
You may be forced to turn into a path you'd rather not go down, but you'll get there in the end.
