Be the Oak
Sit with your back against a tree,
And you will see the world from a rooted perspective.
Ground yourself into the sacred earth,
Open yourself up to the shining light from above.
Spread your branches out with the graceful
Flexibility and strength of an ancient oak.
Fret not over how many seeds you have grown
That have not born into sturdy wide trunks like yours,
yet.
Each seed of yours has a divine purpose.
Each seed of yours has a plan.
Some are nutrients for the earth,
Some are nutrients for the squirrels and the birds.
And some become trees just like you.
With branches spanning wide.
The land around you is scattered with all the fruit
That you have born.
Your intentions are always beautiful and good.
Your wishes for your seeds are always of the highest purpose.
Rejoice in the letting go.
Rejoice in the letting go
Of having to know
Of having to know
What
When
And where
That one seed
That one plan
That one intention
Becomes a grand oak
Like you.
All of your dreams and wishes are powerful.
Each dream and wish has a purpose.
Will they all come to fruition?
Yes!
Just not in the exact way that you plan.
For your intention started
When you first absorbed the sunlight from the sky,
And drank in the nutrients from the earth.
Letting go of knowing
Is your most beautiful gift.
Be the oak. Grow your seeds.
Release them when all of the elements are aligned.
And then keep grounded and open and see
What beautiful magic happens.
