Art of Trees and Plants

“You know why trees smell the way they do?” Murphy asked, looking up from her hammering. “Sap?” Logan guessed. “Chlorophyll?” Murphy shook her head. “Stars. Trees breathe in starlight year after year, and it goes deep into their bones. So when you cut a tree open, you smell a hundred years’ worth of light. Ancient starlight that took millions of years to reach earth. That’s why trees smell so beautiful and old.” ~ By Frances O’Roark Dowell in 'Where I’d like to be'

About Me

Gemma Mira Wiseman aka Pamela Adams: I've been a creative writer ever since I was old enough to hold a pen. These days, it's the keyboard and I, every morning with coffee, and we spill out poetic wonders. Later in the day, maybe there is some time to indulge in other genres...usually a school holiday treat...Have I been published ...??? in British school activity books, my notes+creative suggestions accompanying videos for schools (also British+an annual U.S. collection of poetry...Have I been interviewed?...online by a writer in Ontario, now living in BC and a writing group in New York... I even wrote a play - 'Riff Raff', in tandem with another Victorian high school teacher. The play toured several schools in Queensland...That teacher now writes one act plays annually. Have I entered competitions?...Yes...+ won a Hanimax camera plus accessories when I was 12... Do I seek untold fame and fortune? No... I just would like to be noticed and valued, making a difference to someone's life; someone who may have just stumbled across my work... Currently I am retired and guide a U3A writing group plus dabble in encouraging teenagers to explore their inner selves through their writing. P.S. I believe in miracles.

Trees are Earth's endless effort to speak to the listening Heaven.

Rabindranath Tagore

What is the good of your stars and trees, your sunrise and the wind, if they do not enter into our daily lives?

E. M. Forster

Weeds are flowers too, once you get to know them.

A. A. Milne

There are always flowers for those who want to see them.

Henri Matisse

I want to learn from the TREES.
I want to nourish my roots. Nourish the deepest, most essential parts of myself.
Spiritually, emotionally and physically.
I want to go out on some limbs.
I want to bloom where I'm planted.
I want to weather the seasons.
I want to provide a nesting place for those I love.
I want to bend without breaking.
I want to learn from the TREES.

- Adrienne - My Memory Art

A Thought or Two...

Wildflowers are the visual spirit of freedom.

- Gemma Wiseman

Gardening involves labour and a liberal dose of luck, dependent on the mood swings of Nature's precocious weather child.
The health of the spirit depends on the weather child within...
Until some kind of Armageddon, when our precious scaffolding melts and natural senses cave! Like a dark haunting of ...maybe!
It's all about the passing of time, with lots of colour along the way.
- Gemma Wiseman
