I am Tree
“What are you?” You ask “I am tree” I say “And what is tree?” You ask “Tree is seed cast To wing, wind And circumstance Movement Orchestrated Into stillness An eddy Of thoughtlessness In process Organ Organising Into organism Root and leaf Weaving Earth and Sky Drinking sun Catching rain Griping Earth Throwing shade Forest Is not one Without me That is Tree This is me What about you? What are you?” I ask
I like trees.
Enjoying the diversity of entendre'd meanings here (for me and the tree) as you stir these many aspects together. To answer has me tempted to 'compare'.. but instead to sit with this, to listen again for the difference here - the difference of attitude required.. how to see self from within. Is this even a fair endeavor? And-but is it worthwhile to try none the less?
