I came across this picture on my page in the public domain (no copyright infringements I hope **) and it reminded me of me.
I had an epiphany years earlier that I was like an acorn, yearning to break free but not knowing how or even if it was possible. The pressure to break free was so intense that it lead me to therapy. One day, I realized that I was that acorn and that I had started to germinate and I was becoming an oak tree.
Seeing the picture of the naked oak tree (vulnerable) behind the oak tree (being shielded) by leaves covering its branches is what I feel like I have become. The leaves represent my continued evolution of self and the many leaves represent the many facets of who I am.
Like the acorn I once was, I am now a mighty oak which renews itself constantly and offers comfort (strength) to those that seek it.
