the Tree of Life

My father passed away a couple of days ago. In the lobby of his hospice was this beautiful, brightly-colored wall sculpture depicting a swarm of butterflies swirling about a tree. I've recently learned that nearly all cultures and faith traditions have reference to a concept of the "Tree of Life". To me, this sculpture represents the universal 'Tree of Life', lending its support to every soul, living or departed, — the butterflies in flight. RIP Dad.

"America Loves Vietnam"
