The Tuba Tree

There are many flowers in the world, each with its own unique name and form. But what

if there were a tree that held all of them within itself? In my world, I know it as the Tree

of Tuba, a symbol of happiness and the heavenly tree that connects earth and sky.

Though its flowers are different, they share the same roots. No flower is greater than

another, and the tree gives its love and sustenance equally to all. Though a flower’s life

is short, it blooms as beautifully as it can, so that in its final moment it may remember

that it reached its fullest potential and brought life to those around it.
