Trees attract energy when they are ready to grow. Sap flows within each tree and roots draw energy from the earth. Leaves then sprout and draw energy from the sun each day.
The tree devotes itself entirely to its treeness. It is fully committed to personal growth. It spends no time fretting over unworthiness or a previously misspent life.
Each tree is simply fully itself. No tree worries if another grows faster. The only point is to be fully itself and to fulfill its own being.
The tree's real beauty is its unbroken connection with universal being and energy. There is no break, no boundary to water and nutrients as they flow through deep roots and up the trunk to finally burst forth in flowers and leaves. It is all one through and through with earth and sky - so many beautiful manifestations reflecting changing temperature and season.
The tree does not think of itself as separate from God. The great energy bursting forth in Big Bang now flows through its veins toward bark leaf and flower. The tree knows of its connection with all things, reflected in its joining of earth and heaven.
The tree is as mindful as trees can be that it does not manifest itself, its leaves or its flowers. It is instead the conduit through which universal energy flows to manifest itself in treeness of all imaginable types.
Thinking of this I now comprehend that my difficulties and disappointments come from frustrated ego: "why can't I fulfill my dream right now?"
If I open myself fully to universal energy is there any limit to what beauty might manifest itself through me? All I need do is put ego aside and allow universal energy to flower through my life in whatever way it will, knowing that can be only good beyond my comprehension.
