In the heart of the Peak District in Northern England lies a village called Hope, A village of wonder, where this tree lives. The relationship to nature, the seasons of the trees, the seasons of human emotions and relationships, the seasons of business, from conceptual seed to actualised dream, to difficulty and struggle, to new investment and growth. Our relationship to nature is ever present. Life is cyclical, a wave of highs and lows whilst we continually grow and evolve. I often watch the trees for the relationship to the self, witnessing the tree go from empty bare tree to full bloom.
