Small Lives

This morning I went out into nature to look for colour inspiration for painting, and I was struck by all the many small lives that exist together to make a forest.


Right now there are new green shoots turning up everywhere. Small little lives, that are just beginning their journey.


It made me think of how many small lives exist in each of us, and how delicate they are when they first begin to emerge.

 
What really caught my attention this morning was 
how many of these small lives are intertwined.
 

And how they all seem to gather around each other:
their journeys are both sympathetic and independent.
 
 

We are the same.
