Tree Of Self-awareness

Self awareness is to know about the inner-self: the deceit of the heart; the niches of gnarly growth and twisted thought. Its also to know the better side of one's self: the fruit of goodness and generosity; those parts that look outwardly and inwardly beautiful, where the pretty colours begin to radiate and overcome something more than the overall picture of ourselves.

To me, this is like a snap-shot of my own soul as I live this life. The star is the Spirit of Enlightenment (God), whereby those prettier and better parts of self are nourished and maintained. The other areas are still being worked on, and gradually through the walk of life, these too will turn to something more beautiful. It is the work of a life-time, and inevitably there will be some areas that will, in the end, simply have to be discarded...
