BE the TREE

BE THE TREE

All things in nature are in a natural state of being.
The flower does not try to grow.
The baby does not try to be.
The tree does not work hard to endure.

Be like the apple tree.

The bees and birds come to it.
It provides shade and oxygen.
It grows stronger every day by deepening its roots.

It does not worry.
It does not fear.
It does not chase.
It does not control.

I am the tree.

I have deep roots.
I have beautiful fruits.
I am strong and flexible.
I do not work hard to grow.
I have endurance.

The bees come.
The birds come.
The people come.
Time passes and I am.
I am the seasons.
I am the breeze.
I am one.
