Sink your roots deeply into the Earth
Reflect the light of a greater source
Think long term
Go out on a limb
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

I like your poem, I have always liked trees. This reminds me of the poem "Trees", I think That I shall never see, a poem as lovely as a tree, it goes something like that. Thank you for sharing this poem and thanks for coming by.
I love the advice, and the tree is just a brave one to stand tall. Nice post!
Great advice and a great picture to go with it.
Wonderful poem and astonishing picture!

That was very good advice! Like Diane C. said that nature has a lot to teach us. They inspire us by their very forms and color, like wisteria I wrote about in my Saturday ramble.Have a great Sunday!
