a tree, a prayer
May you find strength, beauty and peace each day
A tree can be a metaphor for strength, beauty and peace—qualities we all aspire to. The prayer is one of hope and healing; about living in the moment. The title is as much a prayer as the sentiment. The piece is very open. The tree can be a symbol of anything that is centering and inspirational. Trees are grounding – a connection to that which sustains us. It could also reference the Tree of Life – a universal symbol in many different religions -- both Christian and non-Christian.

I bought this angel today for my beloved Godmother, Aunt Raja. I want her to know that I am holding her in my heart and prayers as she battles uterine cancer.

I just bought this today and my Grandfather passed this evening. I bought it for my mother (his daughter) to give to her on Christmas. After I started driving home I realized I should have bought one also for my aunt. I am now on a mission to buy one for her also to give it to her at Christmas. Thank you for such great products!

My mother passed away January 26, 2011. The story submitted by $hort$ really touched me. It brought tears to my eyes because I know how lost and devastated one feels after losing the person who gave you life and the ONE person who will always love you unconditionally. When you lose your mom, there's a hole in your heart that no other person can fill. But thankfully, like $horts$, I have a childhood friend who has been there for me 100%. She also gave me my first Willow Tree and it brought so much comfort to my soul. I had my 42nd birthday this month and lo and behold, my sister-in-law gave me another--A Tree, a Prayer Willow Tree figurine. Now I have the pair and I love them! I am sure that this will start a collection in my household, and that of my brothers and sister, becasue I intend on sharing this beautiful piece of art with my whole family! Thank you for such beautiful and meaningful work!

I do not actually remember when and where I saw Willow Tree the first time, but when I saw the poster with the collection in Amsterdam I could not pass by. A tree, a prayer reflects my inner state now--I am going to start a family and pray to God every day that we will be happy and safe together. I realize that the collection could represent the whole story of a family and really want to do so in my case. So I am looking forward to the wedding, children, anniversaries etc. Thank you for bringing comfort to our souls and minds.

My mother passed away two weeks ago. When my friend from childhood met me at the airport, she presented me with "a tree, a prayer" saying she thought I would need an angel to help me through the next few weeks. I was home to help my mom and dad settle in to life with hospice for what I had been led to believe by the doctors was for several months. My angel sat on my nightstand, somewhat forgotten, as I was sleeping in another room to be nearer to my parents. A little over a week later, she caught my eye as I was getting ready for bed and I took my angel with me. While I was sitting with my mom that night, I told her about my angel. My mother died peacefully just a couple hours later with "a tree, a prayer" still gripped tighly in her hand.

To tell you my story of how I started collecting Willow Tree, I have to go back 2 years (Aug. 2009).
My sister was due to have a baby boy; on the day he was to be born he died. That was a hard day for all of us.
At the funeral the pastor read the story about dragonflys and since then we see dragonflys everywhere When we see a dragonfly today we think of our Evan in Heaven.
Then four months later she became pregant again, but sadly, three months later she lost the baby, my niece Emma. My sister is now pregant again. She is due in July and she is having another boy (Nathaniel).
Our father is now terminally ill. He is in hospice; each room is named after a tree. He is in the room Willow, which is also the same name of the street where his father lived. His name was William.
My first Willow Tree figurine was A Tree, A Prayer, I also bought my mom Remember.
This now has started our collection as we move forward. These items help us through the tough times.
