Trees are like people. If they grow up in more difficult situations, they become stronger and have character. This is a whole cloth quilt painted with only grey dye, The color throughout comes from the fluorescent threads in the quilting.
THE LAW OF LIFE
The tree that never had to fight
For the sun and sky and air and light,
That stood out in the open plain
And always got its share of rain,
Never became a forest king,
But lived and died a scrubby thing.
The man who never had to toil,
Who never had to win his share
Of sun and sky, and light and air,
Never became a manly man,
But lived and died as he began.
Good timber does not gow in ease;
The stronger wind, the tougher trees;
The farther sky, the greater length;
The more the storm, the more the strength;
By sun and cold, by rain and snows,
In trees of man, good timber grows.
Where thickest stands the forest growth,
We find the partriarch of both,
And they hold converse with the stars
Whose broken branches show the scars
Of many winds and much of strife...
This is the common law of life.
