The Spiral of Life

Dedicated to Friends: and and for their BIRTHDAYS, which were on July 6th, [Sorry a day late, and sorry for sharing, too... ]


I love fiddle-head ferns- they are my favourite of the ferns, because to me they are one strong depiction found in Nature that reminds me of "The Spiral of Life" which for me is simply symbolic of the cycles in life, and how the year comes back around again and we celebrate many things through out the year, and as our day of birth we find our selves again, but maybe wiser on that day that we are older, perhaps changed somehow due to that past year of experiences, and ready to spiral around again through more experiences on our life's journey.

The fiddle-head fern plant continuously produces spiral after spiral... it is as if to represent the source of life, symbolically of course, and it's just interesting "food for thought"...

These friends here have shown such support and kindness to me since they have been on dA, and I shall always be grateful for this!

They are each SO talented in their own way:

Dear Birthday Friends!
Thank you for all of your support and friendship here on dA.
Your kindness has always been appreciated.
I wish you EACH the very best in all of your efforts during the coming year.
Sincerely Your Friend, Tea

I always think of this song when I see and photograph fiddle-heads:

SPIRAL
by Godsmack

Sometimes we only live for the here and now
Sometimes we're lonely
Sometimes we feel we need a place to be grounded
Or fly away again

I will fly away again [x2]

Why are we feeling something's familiar around us?
Are we just dreaming?
Always we search for the answers but nothing is found
We'll fly away again

I will fly away again [x2]

[ I feel rain pouring down
I wait to rot away
Live again
Here forever
The spiral never ends

Rot away
Live again
Here forever
The spiral never ends ] [x2]


Rot away
Live again
Here forever
The spiral never ends

It never ends

I will fly away again [x4]

^{[NOTE: I just wanted to say, in advance, how especially grateful for anyone's I may receive for this image. I am honoured that you would enjoy or think well enough of my work here, to it. So I thank you profusely, and from the bottom of my heart . And because I do realize time constraints all too well, I understand, if you are unable to also leave a comment. However, whichever you may do, [or even both! ] I genuinely appreciate it beyond measure. I need you to know this now, in case I'm not capable of doing individual thank-you's for 's, which I've not been capable, or in case I cannot respond to each comment, either. Thanks for understanding.
And even if you just came to view! I am also very HAPPY for this! ]}
