The “Tree of Life” is a reminder to change with the rhythms of life, to grow, turning to the light, to draw strength from the elements of nature, to bloom.

The rays of the rising sun give a new day, new hope, thousands of new opportunities. P. Coelho wrote: “Every day – together with the sunlight – we are given a moment when we can change everything... It is a moment when the full power of the stars permeates us and then we can work miracles.”
