WISDOM & SELF-GROWTH
How harsh it can all be . But here is what the tree knows . There is a time to awaken , there is a time to grow , there is a time to release , there is a time to go within . This is the wisdom of the tree . This is natural , and so this process is the wisdom that the tree teaches us and reminds us of throughout all seasons and situations within our life .
We often go into the Natural World for relaxation , connection , and peace .
MAYBE , WE SIMPLY NEED TO BE A TREE !
I write this for the reader that is discombobulated , a reader who wants to “ Aspire ”. We are in times of a different climate , a different season , a time that we might deem unrecognizable . Yet , as an Indigenous writer , we have been here before .
No matter what ancestral history you are born into . No matter where you land on the face of Mother Earth . We are citizens of the world . How do we know how to handle this life ? Be a Tree !
For those readers who want to be a part of something greater … be yourself , aspire , do what you do every day . AND … if you don ’ t know what else to do … I light a tea light candle at the end of every day – I have since 2023 . I invite you to light a candle with me , and know that I am lighting one with you , too . Let ’ s be a forest !
