What is Canopy?

In the ancient forest, the canopy is the topmost layer of life which provides shelter for all that resides beneath it. The canopy filters the sunlight, softens the rain, and blocks the wind so that younger, more tender life may thrive. In turn, the roots of the trees draw nutrients and moisture from the soil and organic material on the forest floor, conveying it up to the green canopy and keeping it lush and growing.

Similarly, interests and ideas which foster creativity keep people vital and growing. They provide sanctuary from the pressures of life, and allow people to discover who they truly are. Each person brings new perspective to ancient ideas, stretching the boundaries much as the canopy stretches toward the sky.

Canopy: Refuge for Ideas draws together two people's interests. It is our hope that the topics contained herein will foster and stimulate new awareness in others, and encourage people to follow their creativity, wherever it may lead.
