Awakening

Let thy soul shine forth.

...of vibrant activity, this lone sunflower holds its heavy head.

Longevity

The bamboo is a symbol of resilience, enduring all sorts of climatic challenges. It reminds me of the human spirit.

Courage

Stand tall for what you believe in, even if you feel you stand alone.

Give Thanks

Be thankful for the thorns in life. For it's those thorns that teach the most. Without growth, what is the purpose?
