Challenge 74

[foxrafer.livejournal.com]

As Earth Day is tomorrow I thought I'd challenge you with a set of quotes about trees. :-) What you create can of course be completely unrelated to trees or the environment; however they speak to you, whatever meaning you see, just run with it.

Except during the nine months before he draws his first breath, no man manages his affairs as well as a tree does. - George Bernard Shaw, Maxims for Revolutionists, 1903

Trees are poems that earth writes upon the sky,
We fell them down and turn them into paper,
That we may record our emptiness. - Kahlil Gibran

Between every two pines is a doorway to a new world. - John Muir

Happiness is a bowl of cherries and a book of poetry under a shade tree. - Astrid Alauda

The deadline: June 16

Original fic, any fandom, any genre; real and fictional person pairings; slash, gen or het; fics, graphics, or videos. The goal is to inspire creation of any stripe and color. And most importantly, have fun.

If this interests or intrigues you, if you think you'd like to play around with the theme, or if you already have an idea that's just itching to be realized, please comment to this post to express your interest. This doesn't commit you to creating something based on this challenge; it just gives us an idea about what things the community members find most compelling.
