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 )
