Quiet Wisdom: An Ode to Trees
Posted in Art, tree stories, Trees, tagged honoring trees, Michael Kennedy, Ode to Trees, tree stories, Treewhispers on February 19, 2023| 2 Comments »

As a boy I knew there was more to trees than just limbs to be climbed and heights to be reached. There was something mysterious and magical about them. They were living creatures of infinite sizes and shapes and each of them had a story to tell. And these trees told their stories slowly, quietly, and poetically.
Quiet Wisdom: An Ode to Trees was written by Michael Kennedy, Olympic Valley, CA resident, teacher, photographer & writer. For the entire story and breath taking photography visit his website at https://www.bluewolfgallery.com/post/quiet-wisdom-an-ode-to-trees. Enjoy!
What is your tree story?

We all have at one time in our life experienced a tree in one way or another.
We climbed trees with our friends seeing who could climb the highest, built a tree house that was our refuge, walked through a cool dense forest in the springtime, plucked a plump red apple off a tree, speculated on what kind of a tree we would be.
On a hot summer evening, did you run to a tree for safe base when you played tag?
Somewhere within you there is a tree story.
Just as the rings of a tree embody the stories of the tree, so too we carry the stories of trees. These stories inspire us to renew our sense of wonder. They connect us to one another through shared experiences as they deepen our understanding to our connection with nature.

Shared visions

I never cease to be amazed and delighted by the creative stories and art that are shared!
There were two trees.
They are friends.
They have a bird friend too.
Although they can talk to each other through their bird friend.
They cannot play or touch each other.
There was a road in between them.
Then they both grew up.
And one day they can touch each other’s leaves and branches.
They are happy now.
They brid friend sings a song for them.

I climbed a tree almost.
Let’s do it again!

It was such a joy to share the creative papermaking process with adults and children alike last Sunday. Parent’s taught children. Children taught parents. Onlookers eased in to join the fun. Stories were shared and trees were celebrated.
Many thanks to Artists Book House for sponsoring the event with the Evanston Arts Council Special Projects Grant. Additional confetti to celebrate community building activist Jamie Thome ; amazing artist, fiber and pulp provider Melissa Jay Craig; Evanston Library and librarian (now papermaker) Laura Antolin; volunteers extraordinaires Michael Swierz, Katie Kucera and ABH Intern Kerrigan; and to all who shared in the papermaking/tree storytelling event. It was beautiful!










Weeping Willow

Story and art by A. Kaunuda
Visiting the willow was my reason for joining my uncle and cousin on their spring/summer fishing trek to the Washington Park Lagoon.
Three blocks from our house was my grandmother’s flower garden where they dug up the worms for bait.
I packed a picnic lunch because they never ever caught any fish.
While they baited the hooks at the water’s edge I climbed into the welcoming embrace of the sturdy weeping willow branch that extend out over the surface of the lagoon. With my back against the trunk and my feet dangling over the branches just inches from the water’s surface, I sang and cloud surfed and danced my whispered dreams. I skipped across the water with dragonflies, floated on the surface with willow leaves, inhaled spring and exhaled summer into the last autumn sunset.

In anticipation and celebration of the upcoming 2023 exhibition at Audubon, I’m combing the archives to honor the commensalistic relationship of birds and trees.
