Think Like a Tree

Soak
up the sun.
Affirm life's magic.

Be graceful in the wind.

Stand tall after a storm.

Feel refreshed after it rains.

Grow strong without notice.

Be prepared for each season.

Provide shelter to strangers.

Hang tough through a cold spell.

Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring.

Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky.

Be still long
enough to hear
your own
leaves rustling.
