The Whispers Of Being

    I lay down under the tree, looking up through its splayed branches.

Marveling at its being, I realizing for the first time, the life's energy running through it, is the same as what brings my life to fruition. My daughter sees me laying in stillness and hollers out "Mom, are you trying to connect with the tree?" A sudden wave of joy passed through me and again I marveled. Am I trying to connect? No, not really. I'm just being here with the tree and in this I found connection. Was I connected to the tree? No, not in a physical sense; though within myself, I felt more whole then I have in the last few weeks. The answer to a connection issue I had, came forth out of the blue. As though the tree had given the answer. I don't need to feel connected to others to feel whole and complete. I already am whole and complete. If I'm feeling a loss of connection with my loved ones, there is nothing to be done, just be and come back to myself. Let the pieces go where they may. When you are connected to yourself, you are connected to all.

Have a glorious day
