Friends Together


There were two trees on the way I went up to Kyaik Htee Yoe Mountain. The branches piercing in to the stems of each other standing abreast. In my thought, they are like friends in a way. They are infringing into each other yet supporting and growing together.It was as if saying that we are together. Weather they grew at the same time? May be or may be not. Does trees are social animals looking for friends?However, these two trees might be happy trees standing together before there is someone to cut them down thinking the way they grow might have some magical power.

Thanks for your lovely photo and poem. I feel the trees were born at a very different time, but that they still share a deep friendship bordering on love. It is this love that permeates your photo and makes the spot itself so peaceful. The older tree appreciates the younger's courage, vitality, and thirst to learn from its environment. The younger tree is grateful for the older's protection, wisdom and encouragement.
