Creativity after Berevevment

A long time ago, Chloe introduced us to the idea of creativity. I never thought I was creative, despite writing the odd brief verse. Until now...

When mum died more than 5 years ago, a small piece in the local paper and the book of remembrance were our chosen memorials. Shortly after, I wonder what I could do on my own and decided to take a picture of the tree where her remains are scattered every month. I kept this up until covid struck and I was nearly de-railed because crem gardens were closed to the public for a while. At the last minute, I was reprieved, managed to complete my two-year task and decided to call it a day.

For a long while, I couldn't figure out what to do with my pictures. Then with no better ideas, I decided to turn them into a slide show. I have managed to find a way to present it to the world anonymously on YouTube.

Hope you all enjoy it. The piece is called Tree of Life Edition 3 (The Sighing Tree)
