A big strong tree needs big strong roots

A tree cannot be straight if it has a crooked trunk. Anything you want to do you can do here. Nothing wrong with washing your brush How do you make a round circle with a square knife? That’s your challenge for the day. The very fact that you’re aware of suffering is enough reason to be overjoyed that you’re alive and can experience it.

Trees cover up a multitude of sins

If I paint something, I don’t want to have to explain what it is. Just make little strokes like that. Everything’s not great in life, but we can still find beauty in it. Pretend you’re water. Just floating without any effort.

Having a good day

If you do too much it’s going to lose its effectiveness. Just go out and talk to a tree. Make friends with it. With practice comes confidence. We don’t make mistakes we just have happy little accidents.

Trees grow however makes them happy

You could sit here for weeks with your one hair brush trying to do that – or you could do it with one stroke with an almighty brush. And that’s when it becomes fun – you don’t have to spend your time thinking about what’s happening – you just let it happen.
