A meditation on trees

The trees teach me patience.

They’ve spent millennia mastering the art of stillness

so we can wander in their wisdom.

Breathe deep and filter the air,

they remind me as my mind races.

Be a steward of your world.

Inner and outer both purified by the same simple act.

The trees show us what beauty can be sustained

when we only take what we need—the subtlest of Life's essences.

Sun, air, water, earth,

repeat.
