be those roots, steady and growing
branches nourishing all
be that tree, lovely and limber
powerful and tall
I love trees. I love their age and wisdom, their steadiness, the way they connect with each other. The poet Mark Nepo wrote that trees grow without permission or applause. I want this kind of freedom for all of us. I want to move through life deeply engaged while open-handed, full of light, full of love.
