LIKE TREES

In a sense, we are each like a huge tree; where our internal, Heart-felt Compassion for others extends our roots, and our external, active Kindness for others forms our branches … Our empathy becomes our roots reaching down into the soil to become one with our surroundings – by becoming one with those around us; and our open acts of Caring become our branches; reaching into the sky to become one with the Light … allowing our True Self to once again reunite with the All.

Compassion gives us our depth, and Kindness, our height; not separately, but –- like the tree — as ONE. And the higher our tree grows, the deeper it grows as well … The longer our tree’s reach extends, the more interwoven & stable its roots become.

And out in the world — out & about in our everyday lives, this Truth bears the best of Fruit; for the more we Serve others, the more we Care for them … and the more we Care for them, the more we Serve.

(inspired by Osho)
