Windswept Forest

As many of us know firsthand, wind is a powerful force. It can cause great destruction in a matter of minutes. But wind can also bring forth more gradual, graceful changes in nature. I was inspired by windswept trees with their branches gently arching backwards as if they are allowing the wind—and time—to pass. These trees bear the brunt of each blast yet continue to hold tight and thrive. We just might learn a thing or two from them.
