Deep Waters is where life without daylight has been forced to adapt or perish. This piece shows how a strong triangular trunk, can support struggles from all directions while at the same time providing vital nourishment for the growth of our mind, body and spirit.... however slow or small this new growth may be. It serves as a reminder that during those times when we each are called upon to go deep within to find the strength and fluid willingness, we will either rise to the challenge or begin to die.
