GIANT SEQUOIA:
Imagine standing in front of Sequoia. What do you notice first? Her beautiful redwood? The amazing length and height of her body? Can you imagine what it would be like if she wasn’t there? Sequoia has a powerful feminine spirit and energy that reaches far beyond the redwoods. She is filled with the wisdom and knowledge that the world has provided her over centuries, the good and the bad. In nature, we are confronted with creation and destruction. Fires have raged and threatened to take her down, but Sequoia uses the destruction and turns it into creation. Her seeds are spread across the forest, finding a new home to grow. With fire, there is new life. Sequoia represents the balance we need in our lives. Like a metronome, Sequoia sways back and forth, worried that she will lose her balance and fall, but her strong spirit always pulls her back to the center. Sequoia reminds us that we have the power and knowledge to restore this beautiful world.
