Today I am in the resolution to just be there!
Today I am in the revolution to just being there!
Today I am in the realisation of just being there!
I am inspired by the tree.
All it knows is to be there. In serenity.
In tranquility, its toes go deeper and deeper.
Soundlessly, its fingers reach closer to the sky,
Quietly, its arms encircle a wider arc,
Everchanging, it offers a daily changing view.
shade,
oxygen, and,
Holds the earth from erosion,
It offers fragrance of flowers,
Fruits to eat,
Home for birds and beasts,
Swings for the children to play,
Shelter to the tired traveller.
Draws deep from the earth,
Breathes deep from the sun,
And offers in the manifest.
In just being there.........
For the buddha
It offers enlightenment,
For the christ,
The cross.
Sometimes, it becomes a landmark,
At others, a boat to travel deep waters,
a bed, a bench, a table, a home.
In all of this, it just stands.Always in the Now.
Not asking for water even if dying of thirst,
Or pleading if being cut by an ax.
The sandalwood tree,perfumes the ax that lays it low.
Can I live the wisdom of the tree I am today.
