This piece could be a way to express best wishes to someone who is taking a new path in life; on a road to recovery from illness or toward self-improvement... A hopeful symbol of peace for military families awaiting the return of their solders... An expression of sympathy to someone who has lost a loved one. The sentiment refers to the song Turn, Turn, Turn, written by Pete Seeger in 1959, adapted from the Book of Ecclesiastes. In the song, there’s a contrast in each example...‘A time to be born\/die, plant\/reap, laugh\/weep’ and so on. I like the lyrical, repetitive nature of the phrasing. At significant milestones, we often pause and reflect before moving forward, so ‘a time to reflect, a time to soar’ seemed like a nice expression for this piece. —Susan Lordi\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Willow Tree","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49267677364438,"sku":"27173","price":35.5,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0828\/3199\/9190\/files\/27173.jpg?v=1784270170","url":"https:\/\/www.pepperfields.com.au\/products\/willow-tree-soar","provider":"Pepperfields","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
