Native Americans believe cacti symbolize resilience and strength and adaptability, the ability to live and thrive in droughtful landscapes. To me, it's not just about the tolerance to the lack of Water to grow and thrive, but to be toleranent to the drought of the landscape we as humans live in. The drought of freedom, kindness, brotherhood, respect, being able to realize and bounce back and adapt to grow taller and resiliencent to the environment to seak peace and kindness to spread hunanity. Cactus roots stay close to the surface to absorb the water when it comes. I Keep my soul close to the surface to absorb the energy of others that cross my path. The goodness, The kindness, the creativity of people and thier resilience when it comes. The thorns act as a protector from the evils and the invators that try to suffocate our existence. The flowers blossom the beauty and strength we have gathered along the path to pollinate hope.

We will continue to grow bigger and stronger Then yesterday bouncing back from the pitfalls of life while not allowing ideals to get in the way or supress our growth. Tolerance and adaptability = resilience, resilience to live another day shriving to be better then we were yesterday. That is my path with this flourishing body of work.
