Wisdoms from the Journey - Vol VIII (Jan thru Oct 2014)

Like Trees …
(02/05/2014)
In a sense, we are each like a huge tree; where our internal, Heart-felt
Compassion for others is our roots, and our external, active Kindness for others
forms our branches ... Our empathy acts as 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 act as 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 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)
