Willow Tree Soar

A meaningful gift suitable for graduates or to commemorate special achievements, aiming to inspire, support, and recognize individual strength. "The gesture conveyed by the figurine and the bird symbolizes forward movement—a sense of being uplifted, progressing onward; a liberation of hopes, dreams, and spirit; embracing both new beginnings and conclusions, celebrating the journey of life or anticipating a shared life. This piece serves as a heartfelt way to convey best wishes to someone embarking on a new life path, on a journey of recovery from illness, or towards self-improvement. It stands as a hopeful symbol of peace for military families awaiting the return of their soldiers and offers a compassionate expression of sympathy to those who have lost a loved one. The sentiment draws inspiration from the song 'Turn, Turn, Turn,' written by Peter Seeger in 1959 and adapted from the Book of Ecclesiastes. In the song, each example contrasts opposites—'A time to be born/die, plant/reap, laugh/weep,' creating a lyrical, repetitive phrasing. At significant milestones, we often pause to reflect before moving forward, making 'a time to reflect, a time to soar' a fitting expression for this piece." Crafted by Susan Lordi, the figure includes a gift tag with the sentiment 'a time to reflect, a time to soar.
