Trees are symbolic of life. It is a common indigineous practice to plant a tree whenever a baby is born in the family. For every baby born in the family or tribe, a tree is planted. It is cared & nurtured just as the baby is also nurtured.
It is also treated as sacred because life is sacred. This practice was depicted in one movie in the 60s or 70s entitled ‘Igorota’ with Charito Solis in the lead
role. ( Ill make a research on this
practice).
The subject of trees is also a powerful subject which can relate to everyone.
‘ Lawilawi’ is an indigenous name of the tree planted & endemic in our place (Epol) but we noticed that people have forgotten the memory of Lawilawi’ .
We want to honor this tree & revive its memory . Our cottage is mostly made of lawilawi …. strong , sturdy& useful!

It is so touching reading your reflection about tree. Yes, tree has similarities with human. Both tree and human are created by God, individual tree or human is unique and created with unique purpose. May each of us could treasure our lives and find our unique purpose in Him.

Like you I am also in love with trees. They have a presence that is akin to God himself in their majesty. Trees also remind me of man’s life itself, each one lived for a purpose but sadly man has a soul that will live forever but the tree has none, nevertheless it has fulfilled its purpose while it lived!
