5"x7" Prints of Redwoods, Mt. Kilimanjaro and Chestnut Tree all with meanings and symbolism written in the back.
Redwoods:
The vibrant reds of the forest floor, cold against your bare feet, whisper messages of guidance as you walk the path. The words of Redwoods invite you to release your destination and allow your body to wander in the direction of the towering sequoias. Even though the sky begins to disappear, everything becomes more clear. Water droplets rest against the green ferns, slowly rolling off the tips of the leaves, kissing the soil. Each drop is like nature’s tears, releasing all the pain they’ve felt throughout their years. The smell of the air blesses your lungs with pure oxygen gifted from the trees as the soft wind creates music through all of their leaves. Because all your senses are heightened, nothing about the Redwoods goes unnoticed. There she is in all her glory, the Redwood tree. So tall you can hardly take in all of her beauty. You place your hand where her roots meet the Earth’s surface. Your heart instantly becomes connected. Two anchors attached at the bottom of her body, like stitches applied to an open wound, tell the story of survival and hardship. Redwood’s wisdom comes from the knowledge she gathered over hundreds of years. This old soul offers beautiful guidance to all who cross her path and communicates strength, understanding, and acceptance. She reminds us that no matter what fires threaten to scar our path, we have the strength and determination to power through.

Mt. Kilimanjaro:
The full moon settles at the snowy peak of Mount Kilimanjaro, casting a vibrant orange glow across the savannah. Stars peek through the intense glow rising from the horizon. Nestled in with her hand up against the cool rugged texture of the elephant’s trunk, Kilimanjaro feels safe and connected. Her relationship with nature is built on shared experiences. They are reflections of each other. Both with a path that led to destruction, now a symbol of strength and perseverance. A volcanic mountain that is still standing, Kilimanjaro symbolizes reconnecting with our spirit through nature. It’s never too late to align our spirit and discover who we truly are, cleansing ourselves from past hardships. The elephant gives wisdom and good fortune to those who take the journey of healing and self-discovery. Mount Kilimanjaro encourages those who walk her path to let go and give everything to the mountain. You are not alone.

Chestnut:
Chestnut huddles under her canopy of leaves, holding the fawn close to her chest. Her soothing heart beat and the warmth of her body, allows the fawn to drift into sleep. She knows it is time to rest as a new day is ahead. Her long brown hair wraps around her, creating a nest. This nest creates a safe place that symbolizes home. As a mother, Chestnut provides comfort, love, nourishment and spiritual growth. Day-to-day Chestnut holds the responsibility of taking care of others before herself. She may get overwhelmed, insecure, anxious and restless, but she is a strong and beautiful woman. Chestnut reminds us that we are beautiful, no matter the changes our body, mind, or spirit experience. Take a moment to provide for yourself, so you can do the same for others.
