The red tree
Shaun Tan
Sometimes the day begins with nothing to
look forward to and things go from bad to worse:
Darkness overcomes you, nobody understands, the world is a deaf
machine without sense or reason.
Sometimes you wait and wait and wait and wait and wait …
but nothing ever happens, then all your troubles come at once.
Wonderful things are passing you by, terrible fates are inevitable…
Sometimes you just don’t know
what you are supposed to do
or who you are meant to be or
where you are and the day seems
to end the way it begun
but suddenly…
There it is right in front of you, bright and vivid quietly waiting just as you
imagined it would be.
