		<description>Hi Rea,

Thanks for taking the time to share your thoughts &amp; experience with the birch - I&#039;m anxious to see your site when it&#039;s done - the introductory painting of the birch is brilliant.

Some symbolism is much more subtle in hooking us - trees are that way...real subtle.

When I posted this birch entry I was just finishing up months of meditative contemplation on trees which caused me to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.whats-your-sign.com/celtic-meaning-of-symbolic-trees.html&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;launch 20 pages of tree symbolism of the Ogham&lt;/a&gt;.

Not an easy task - especially in the winter when trees are much more slow (sometimes downright unwilling) to be &quot;tapped&quot; of their knowledge (pardon the pun).

Thanks again for commenting.

Oh, one last thought - I&#039;m at a crossroads too - it prompted me to write about &lt;a href=&quot;http://symbolic-meanings.com/2008/03/03/symbolic-meaning-of-crossroads/&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;the symbolic meaning of crossroads here.&lt;/a&gt;  That post helped me more gracefully accept the &quot;in stasis&quot; phase of being in-between.</description>

		<description>Wow. I&#039;m an artist, very much at a crossroads in my life, and though I&#039;ve always painted trees, these past few months, as I ponder a way to make a new start, career-wise, I&#039;m filling my canvasses (inexplicably, until today) with birch trees, birch trees, birch trees, in summer, winter, fall, birch trees. I just learned they mean change, renewal.
This is amazing knowledge.
thank you.</description>
