Ash Tree
Awaken to a new day. A fresh start. Leave all of
yesterday's expectations, promises and disappointments where they belong - in
yesterday. Leave your worries about the future - your concerns - in the future
where they belong. Live today, fully in the present. Enjoy the sunlight, the
fresh breeze. Listen to the birdsong. Smell the Earth. You have provided for
yourself abundantly of all the things that life has to offer. A warm home, a
loving family, an abundance of food. Acknowledge your greatness. You have
provided all of these things for yourself in some way. Acknowledge them.
Absorb them in, through your skin. And thank them all for being a part of your
life.
I am Ash. Although I am aware of what went on before and,
at a more collective level, I can forsee my eventual demise in physical form,
I feel what I feel right now. I feel the rush of sap, the expansion of bud. I
feel the life of the Earth at my feet and the other creatures moving in and
around me. This is who I am right now. Be like me.
