A far away tree

Been drawing trees. As I’ve recovered I’ve taken to gently walking my park and being with the trees. They’re so calming and steady…very healing. Then a pal sent me a photo of a Joshua Tree. It grows in the desert and really is a cactus. Its energy took my attention and in the end I had to draw it. Even though its thousands of miles away I could somehow feel it close. It looks so vibrant and strong and beautiful and all around it desert and dryness…and heat. For a moment I was right there with it…feeling strong again.
