Advice from a tree, by Ilam
Shamir:
Dear friend,
Stand tall and proud
Sink your roots deeply
into the earth
Reflect the light of your
true nature
Think long term
Go out on a limb
Remember your place among
all living beings
Embrace with joy the
changing seasons
For each yields its own
abundance
The energy and birth of spring
The growth and contentment
of summer
The wisdom to let go the
leaves in the fall
The rest and quiet renewal
of winter
Feel the wind and the sun
And delight in their
presence
Look up at the moon that
shines down upon you
And the mystery of stars
at night
Seek nourishment from the
good things of life
Simple pleasures
Earth, fresh air, light
Be content with your
natural beauty
Drink plenty of water
Let your limbs sway and
dance in the breezes
Be flexible
Remember your roots
Enjoy the view!
