Symbolism of the Weeping Willow

Weeping Willows are very flexible trees, as they are capable of bending in many positions without snapping. I wanted to pose near this tree, as it symbolizes adjusting to life and surrendering to the process, rather than fighting it.

 

"The willow reminds us to let go and to surrender completely to our innermost selves. And, to gain a deeper understanding of our subconscious. Another powerful symbolic meaning of the willow tree is its adaptability. The willow tree’s ability to not only survive but also thrive in some of the most challenging conditions. We can also look at how the willow tree encourages the expression of deep emotions, including grief and sadness through tears and teaching us the value and consequences of love and loss. One of the greatest symbolic meanings of the willow tree is that even through great loss we have the ability to grow and there is potential for something new."
