Live Like a Tree

By A.M. Stewart

Live grounded like a tree, its roots stretching far and wide. 

Be as present as a tree, grateful for each moment.  A tree is not partial to the rainstorms or the sunshine, it knows both are essential for its growth.  A tree is not partial to the morning or the night, it is in total acceptance of Life's balance. 

Be like the branches of the tree, bending with the wind, leaves flowing gently with cool air breezes.  Live quiet as the tree, assured life is its forever Source.

What does NOW feel like?

By A.M. Stewart

Is it the wind against my skin

That feels like Life in creation?

Or the sun that kisses my lips

For its complete attention

The breath in my chest

Spreading to every cell

It is the motion of

ALL things

As I do no thing

The connection of

ALL Life

As I am

A vibration of Peace

Among outside chaos

A moth who stops by to look

Deep into my eyes

Is it a song ever flowing

No one but I will hear?

A Loud and Looming voice saying,

“THIS IS ALL THERE EVER IS!”

In here I know all that’s ever been known

Here

Faithfully loving NOW

Throughout all my discomfort

Faithfully loving NOW

Throughout all my resistance

Faithfully loving NOW

Throughout all my acceptance

Faithfully loving NOW

Throughout all my successes

Faithfully loving NOW

Throughout all my failures

Faithfully loving NOW

This Loud and Looming voice saying,

“THIS IS ALL THERE EVER IS!”
