O mind, grow strong like a strong pine tree. 🌲

Ending the year 2023 with Membu with "membu Christmas tree". We intended to make it a limited edition of 100 pieces. The hidden meaning comes from the feeling that this year has been another intense year. The good things have been so sweet, the bad things have been so bitter. So we asked the question "What is happiness?" We searched until we found the podcast Happiness by Observation EP.40. In the end, happiness is... as described by Khun Niw Klom. And this is some of the content.
“Happiness can be defined as having a stable mind or a stable heart. A stable heart is important for sustaining oneself in the storms of happiness and suffering, not being shaken by the fluctuating events in life too much. When encountering good things, it may not swell up like a balloon that is inflated and at risk of being pierced. When encountering bad things, we will not dive into it until we reach the bottom of sadness. A stable heart will support us during suffering and happiness, not rising too high to be frightening and not falling so low that we cannot lift ourselves up.
...Happiness and sadness are very common problems that life throws at us all the time. And it is our duty to find a balance in our own lives.”
Listen and think about it. It's true, "No one's life will only encounter good things. People are mixed with happiness and sadness all the time. And these accumulated experiences will lead to a heart that gradually becomes more stable."
We were satisfied with the answer but continued searching until we found an interesting meaning of the pine tree as a symbol of mental strength. It really fits the current season. Christmas is when the pine tree is decorated with meaningful ornaments. This is the origin of the membu Christmas tree.
The pine tree represents a strong spirit.
A ribbon tied with a bow that represents a gift from the heart.
And the clear jingling bells tell you that the celebration has begun. 🔔
The jolly nature of Membu that whispers to you in every moment that “We will grow with a strong mind.” 🌱
