Advice from a Tree
Dear FriendStand Tall and ProudSink your roots deeply into the EarthReflect the light of your true natureThink long termGo out on a limbRemember your place among all living beingsEmbrace with joy the changing seasonsFor each yields its own abundanceThe Energy and Birth of SpringThe Growth and Contentment of SummerThe Wisdom to let go like leaves in the FallThe Rest and Quiet renewal of Winter
Feel the wind and the sunAnd delight in their presenceLook up at the moon that shines down upon youAnd the mystery of the stars at nightSeek nourishment from the good things in lifeSimple pleasuresEarth, fresh air, lightBe Content with your natural beautyDrink plenty of waterLet your limbs sway and dance in the breezesBe flexibleRemember your roots Enjoy the view!
