The Wisdom from a Palm Tree by Lala MK

Sometimes, I get that shutterbug fever but especially when I travel. Here is a picture from one of those moments. There’s something about photographing trees that I just love - particularly Palm trees. The way they stand up saluting and embracing the sun is just so alluring and as humans, we do the same. When the sun is shining, we go outside and soak up its heat. It’s innate happiness. It’s programmed in us. Every time I see Palm trees, I feel my worries vanish and get this sense of endless possibilities. We easily forget how remarkable nature is, until it’s right in front of us, magnified for our eye level. We are so tiny in comparison to the nature of the world and when our species is extinct, Mother Nature will continue to live on. She always does. It’s a beautiful existential reminder to breathe, relax, enjoy life and not take it so seriously.  

I took this picture with my Canon EOS Rebel T1i a few years ago when I travelled to Israel. This was taken in the beautiful city of Jerusalem.
