#3 Trees are like Humans

This is #3 of the Memory Palace of Trees stories on video, many thanks to educator Jenny Hong for her tree story.

*********************

Jenny’s words:

Trees are like Humans,

They grow differently according to different places and different climate.

When every spring comes ,it doesn’t matter if there is Covid 19 or not ,

they all put on their new leaves and flowers as well.

I especially like this kind of old tree, very old, like this one ,

I assume is over 100 years old.

And also those trees that are growing against the wall

outside Lama temple, they never complain.

They never push away anyone who seeks for shelter.

Just like our family, no matter how weary you are, how upset you are,

They always welcome you home warmly with their open arms.

So, all the trees have got their character too,

Just like us!

Open Call for your just a minute Tree Story on video

Memory Palace of Tree Stories is a socio-ecological art practice which invites you to tell a story or share information about trees . It is a creative-led social enquiry of how we can live well for both personal and collective wellbeing. Your story can be any kind of tree story , a personal tree story, an ecological tree story , an environmental tree story, an historical tree story or even a botanical tree story. I do hope you can contribute a comment on how we can live better with the greater community of life.

The year 2024 we continue to gather your stories in the form of one minute videos and we are really looking forward to hearing your tree story . I can be contacted directly on this platform or on the contact page on this website.
