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
