MAGNOLIA – detach

 

MAGNOLIA is a double flower, absurd, that tells us about how much the nature is fucking great

 

there are two types of magnolias: 

– winter magnolia, which, of course, blooms in winter, it is a huge, gigantic tree, full of gigantic and green leaflets, with a white and large flower, open…. so open, that it seems to be missing something inside

 

– summer magnolia, which strangely blooms in summer, it is a very small tree, meager, with few or no leaves, small and scattered and beautiful pink flowers, a little closed…. that they open up, but it seems like it’s missing something underneath, like a base

 

In short, these two guys are exactly opposite

 

in ancient times, however they were a unique tree 
then biology , we don’t know how, divided this tree in half and the two of them were born
HECK

 

such an incredible story, even plants get divorced

the ancient Greeks, who embroider stories and legends about anything, tell that once the two magnolias were one: a life shared and united, in symbiosis, dependent on each other, happy and carefree, they created their large and powerful tree ^_^

 

but then the little one saw a nymph passing by and fell in love…

its passion was so strong to make it go against the laws of nature and separate from the large mother tree and create its small tree, bare, with a few leaves, a few twigs here and there, but full of flowers ^_^

 

 

its strength – passion, love, determination – could also reverse the laws of nature

 

magnolia, therefore, speaks of divorce

of detachment from the nucleus of birth
of detachment from certainties, mountains, roots and habits that have accompanied us for a long time

 

 

the symbolism of magnolia talks about chasing your dreams 

or a great love
or a huge passion

 

magnolia speaks of being able to detach from a rooted comfort zone, whether it was good for us, whether it was destructive

 

 

the meaning of magnolia tells us about a new life
to feed and nourish, but that was actually already born

 

magnolia speaks of new horizons

SUMMER magnolia

 

winter magnolia instead, is the one that was left 
that
has the melancholy of emptiness
of a missing part that will never be filled

 

it’s a gigantic structure that faces the mourning

and detachment
and continues to bloom, even if the flower no longer seems complete

 

and holds back the perennial green leaves
in order not to show its bare structure
it doesn’t want to show its sufferings or the gray days full of tears

 

and it must maintain its huge structure, that he had created when they were a couple and that continues to carry on with pride, head-on, even alone, without that small pink flower that decided to chase its butterflies

 

magnolia speaks of detachment, from both points of view

 

because we have to remember that we are made of two parts
and sometimes this detail is not taken into consideration

 

 

with love, but always irreverent
