Takes courage. As important as it is to be a member of a social group, knowing your worth as a person in that group is vital.
Is the whole the sum of its parts? Sometimes we all need to leave the group to be valued for ourselves. In our multicultural Canada, many new immigrants do struggle with the need to belong to two worlds- their cultural or religious group and Canadian society yet find a way to be an individual! The forest has room for many different trees and vegetation living side by side. Does Society have the room?
Nice symbolic photos, Barb. Your text makes me think (which, I suppose, is good).
