It was sentenced to perch on a ridge along Highway 3, in Southern Alberta, Canada, in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, for over 740 years. Its needles were lost in 1978; Chinook winds toppled it in 1998; it was vandalized in 2004. It suffers by living, by acts of love, and by acts of violence. It symbolizes all variations of struggle: right and wrong, life and death, love and hate, safety and danger, peace and violence. At one angle it is lovely, at another grotesque; it has moments of vulnerability and moments of strength; it has stages of dying and stages of immortality. Judgment is a matter of perception. Combine the right light and just the right perspective with an exercise of patience, it is possible to capture an essence. This is a process that creates a magical healing, medicinal joy arising from the sense of peace and calm experienced. Whenever I notice and respect the world around me and whenever I use patience as a tool, I find the light that erases the dark shadows cast by prejudgments. Peace travels the path lit with the beauty of all things.<\/p>\n<h1>Lessons of the Tree<\/h1>\n<h2>#1<\/h2>\n<p>When angered, frustrated,<br \/>\nand unable to find my way,<br \/>\nI will simply take a deep breath,<br \/>\nopen my mind and wait<br \/>\nfor the light to show<br \/>\nme the beauty.<br \/>\nI&#8217;m there when I can breathe easily.<br \/>\nChoosing to perceive beauty<br \/>\nin all things,<br \/>\nincluding myself,<br \/>\nis an exercise of will,<br \/>\ndetermination, and above all, patience.<\/p>\n<h2>#2<\/h2>\n<p>My family calls it my tree; it is my soul.<br \/>\nIt is okay to let me be.<br \/>\nI will always be here\u2014<br \/>\nnot always in a recognizable form<br \/>\nthat needs wiring or rewiring.<br \/>\nYou need not fix a sigh of relief.<br \/>\nThe self is nothing of matter;<br \/>\nit is hard to realize &#8220;nothing&#8221; matters.<br \/>\nThe light of understanding is everywhere.<br \/>\nThis is the lesson<br \/>\nof the Burmis Tree.<\/p>\n<h2>Last Hurrah<\/h2>\n<h2>Burmis Tree Photograph<\/h2>\n<figure style=\"width: 480px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"ngg-singlepic ngg-left\" style=\"border: 2px solid black;\" title=\"Last Hurrah: Burmis Tree\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/melacey.com\/blog\/wp-content\/gallery\/ab\/burmis-00_0.jpg?resize=480%2C333\" alt=\"Last Hurrah\" width=\"480\" height=\"333\"\/><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Last Hurrah: Burmis Tree.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>This image is one of my most popular images, particularly for special events (weddings, mother&#8217;s day, Christmas).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/melacey.com\/blog\/contact\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Contact me<\/a> to order and request a quote.
