A
THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
Not that I want to be
a god or a hero. Just to change into a tree, grow for ages, not hurt anyone.
-Czeslaw Milosz, poet and novelist (30 Jun 1911-2004)
Ah what a lovely
thought.
In these uncertain
times I wonder what it would be like to simply be a tree – to live, breath,
take the sun, take the rain, the snow, whatever “life” throws whilst simply
putting back fresh into the air and joy into the hearts of those who love
nature.
To simply BE instead
of trying to worry about all the consequences, the emotions, the 180° turns
that life often takes. Perhaps that is to truly be a god or a hero, being
always available, being always even-tempered (ok when a tree falls and causes
havoc it is often due to its roots over which it has no control or a storm,
again no control), being always there.
I love life and
living, emulating a tree might be the way to go.
