Trees are amazing creations. They give us fresh oxygen and absorb the carbon dioxide we exhale. They are solid, they are strong. The provide shade and cool in the summer and they provide art for us in the winter by showing us the greatest shapes against the winter sky. But each tree has its own unique properties. The Oak stands tall and solid, the willow dances in the wind and the palm bends to whatever weather is that day, embracing the wind and standing tall when the storm has passed.
I want to be a palm tree. Able to take and enjoy whatever I am given whether it be positive or negative, for from each experience I will learn the lessons that I came to learn. ~ACN
As each tree is unique in what it is and does, so are we. We have our own way of doing things, our own looks, our own values, our own strengths and weaknesses. No matter the situation at hand each of us will handle it in our own way. Because we handle it differently does not mean that it is right and another’s is wrong, or our way is better than another. Each circumstance or experience is handled with the individual uniqueness of ones own self. The way we react will determine an exclusive outcome that is tailored to your own need. You will “get” the lesson as you should get it.
Yet just as each tree as a prime function to provide oxygen to the planet, so is each one of us has a purpose to love in a non-judgmental, unconditional manner. Together, just as trees in a forest, let this love shine and flow forth into the world bring Mother Earth to a place of absolute peace.
In love and light,
