January Echo of the Month (We will catch up soon!)
Below is a poem that has given me great reflection over the winter months. I hope you enjoy it as much as I have...
Lesson From a Tree
By Ilan Shamir, Adapted by Monnie Leigh Southern Meads
Stand tall and proud
Sink your roots deeply into the earth
Reflect the light that the Lord gives
Remember your place among all living beings
Embrace with joy the changing seasons
For each yields its own abundance
The energy and birth of spring
The growth and contentment of summer
The wisdom to let go of leaves in the fall
The rest and quiet renewal of winter
Feel the wind and the sun
And delight in their presence
Look up at the moon that shines down on you
And the mystery of the stars at night
Seek nourishment from the good things in life
Simple pleasures
Earth, fresh air, light
Let your limbs sway and dance in the breezes
