This week Tanka Tuesday challenge’s prompt is a photo prompt. I soon as I saw this photo I had the feeling of isolation, being lost in the middle of the forest. When I looked closer at it, I saw the girl had a certain contentment in her expression, it’s like she had chosen to be there, she was fine and protected by the tree in the background.
Carried away to another dimension Leaving behind all the struggling and oppression She is free and protected now Breathing deeply and staring ahead Solitude won't be dreaded

Not just the tree but the whole forest is dedicated to the protection of that girl.

Yes, I agree, the tree looks like it is protecting her. Also, she looks like she is grounding herself, with her hands in the earth. We could all use some of that now!

Yes, Meg! You got it perfectly. It’s all about grounding and safety, like the roots of a tree. When we are strongly grounded nothing can disturb us.
