A tree. So simple, elegant, and beautiful. They come in many different shapes and sizes and so many astonishing varieties. All born from a tiny seed that's been blessed and nurtured. Always on time for spring and never late for autumn and fall. Yet, they have no sense of time! No clocks; no one to advice them; nothing going off with an alarm. These simple creations are undoubtedly functionally complex that it's perfect.
They continue to provide oxygen and bare the fruit we consume. The roots that hold the trees intact to the ground we dig, through vicious winds of many natural disasters, grow deeply into the soil in which it was conceived. As autumn and fall approach they slowly and beautifully say goodbye to the leaves they've provided a place to reside. They let go only with the knowledge that they will be blessed, once again, when the time and conditions are right.
They do not rush; they do not complain. The leaves, happy to touch and feel the ground their parent was born in, show their appreciation by changing colors. Once their color fades, they are composed into nutrients for their parent to produce more leaves. The water from the clouds above and the light from the sun contribute to the growth of fruit and leaves in spring. Trees know that everything will happen in time.
They do not worry; they do not hurt. Instead, they love endlessly: giving air to the suffering, enjoying every moment with their leaves as possible, so when it's their time to part the tree isn't selfish. The tree simply encourages and lets go proudly as the leaves settle on the ground. Once the tree, itself, is ready to pass over it does so willingly, knowing their purpose has been served.
An energy pulsates through this organism like no other. Yet, we overlook it everyday. Life and people are much like trees. People come in different shapes sizes and are each uniquely and perfectly different. We are the seeds taking root in the soil. One day, some will produce leaves and others will bare fresh produce. Naturally, these leaves and produce will embark on their own journeys. When this moment comes, do no partake in selfishness. Encourage and guide them. Love often and know your purpose has been served. Continue to give often with the expectations of receiving nothing in return. Most importantly, do not rush time away that is guaranteed to never return!
Live in the moment! Live in the present! Live in the present moment!
