LESSON OF THE BIRCH

from The Wisdom of Trees by Jane Gifford

 

The birch tree symbolises a fresh start and can bring courage and determination to those of us who are treading the path of spiritual growth and development for the first time.

 

Although the birch does appear fragile, it is in fact extremely hardy. This teaches us that in apparent weakness there is often to be found great strength.

 

The birch also promises new life and love, and is a potent symbol of purification and renewal, which focuses our attention on our potential for the change and on the consideration of new directions and goals to be experienced in our lives.

 

It teaches the lesson of unselfishness and of caring for the needs of others in ways that help them to flourish of their own accord.
