I’m standing in my favorite spot on an absolutely gorgeous spring day. The light is filtering through the trees and uplifting my spirit! I’ve had more time in the forest today for work, for contemplation, for movement, stillness, gratitude, and joy.
A Blessing from the Trees
In the wide wide world
that wraps its chaos around you,
there is a still point
that is unique to you.
Stop for a moment
and stand very still.
This moment of stillness
is an aspect of your soul.
It is with you always
and can be activated at any time,
in any place with awareness.
Feel the stillness of trees,
the Earth,
the sky—
yes, there’s always movement there too,
but there’s also stillness.
Seek this stillness in surprising moments.
Feel rooted in the stillness,
deep like a tree.
Feel expanded in the stillness,
like the clear blue sky.
Stand in the stillness
and in the vast, pure elevation of your soul.
This extraordinary soul that is you.
That has been given to you
and is unique to you
in all the universe
through all time.
It is easy for the wild running of the universe
to hide this profound stillness
from your consciousness.
Yet it is always there
and available to you.
Take the time
to honor your soul,
by standing
very still
and quiet
and present in the moment.
Knowing how beautiful you are.
And how true this is.
