Advice from a Tree

Dear friend stand tall and proud.

sink your roots into the Earth. 

Reflect the light of your true nature. 

Go out on a limb

Remember your place among all living beings. 

Embrace with joy the changing seasons for each yields it own abundance

the Energy and birth of Spring

The growth and contentment of Summer

The wisdom to let go like leaves in the fall

The rest and quiet renewal of Winter

feel the wind and the sun and delight in their presence

Look up at the moon that shines down upon you

and the mystery of the stars at night

Seek nourishment from the good things in life

Simple pleasures

Earth,fresh air,light

Be content with your natural beauty

Drink plenty of water

Let your limbs sway and dance in the breezes

be flexible

Remember your roots

Enjoy the view
