Well , if you think about it , at times we might feel as though we are in a warm season , projects are going well and developing .
And at times we are in a cold season , these are the times that we experience setbacks and a sense that nothing is moving forward . The natural world understands each of these seasons ; hence , be a tree .
A seed is planted . It is only natural for it to be a part of the natural world – the natural order of things . This is the basic organic order of life and how we can develop within good times and bad times .
The tree understands this order and can teach us this wisdom of how to simply be in every season of our life .
In The Spring , the time where the natural world begins to warm up . This creates a wonderful environment for this seed to begin to awaken . The seed feels warmth and is inspired to reach out , stretch out , and burgeon . So , it is with us , in the springtime of our life – we too are inspired to flourish .
BE A TREE .
In The Summer , the time of heightened sunlight . This creates the perfect atmosphere for this seed to begin to grow – grow and develop to its fullest extent . It experiences a thriving time of self-recognition , excitement , and a time to start bearing fruit .
So , it is with us , in the summertime of our life – we too are developing to the fullest extent .
BE A TREE .
In The Autumn , the time of cooling down with shorter days . This creates a natural environment for the tree to relax and release - release the fruits of its labor . To share with
