“Get
yourself grounded and you can navigate even the stormiest roads in peace” Steve
Goodier.
These
pictures I clicked on 8 December, it’s my son Mario Emmanuel’s Birthday, while
I sat down with my family and a couple of friends, at the grave of my son, I observed
this huge tree and I felt courage and strength.
This
tree stood tall and spreading its branches wide beautifully and the presence of
this tree was overwhelming, giving me hope – it appeared as a statement, despite
the weather and storms, it is still grounded and growing. I loved it so much
that I started clicking from different angles.
