My beloved (trees as teachers)

My beloved,
you can grow, there will be space provided for you.
Seek the nurturing ground and then go straight for the sunlight of your soul.
It is all up to you. And it is not all up to you.

Not every want will be met but whether rain or ice or drought, look at the trees, the tree still grows, tall, vibrant, round, spiral, capturing the sunlight in its leaves and branches.
You will be host to those who come to visit you and you will, at times, not be sought out because time and need are not aligned for those others.

So much vibrancy, so many different shapes, no need to make space for others at your expense, for those who are strong and meant to be will also grow.  With you.
You will share sun, earth, sky, air, light, water with everybody.
Therefore your want is for growth -  body, heart and soul.

You know your heart and what it is capable of.
You know your body.
You have heard the whispers of your soul.  Once you hear it clearly, there will be no compromise, no turning back.
