I Want to Learn From Trees

by Deanna

It appears that everyone is trying to find their WORD for the year....to identify with, to aspire to, or to be like.  As I was reading other blogs the other day I came upon one that struck a chord with me. Adrienne had written about trees.  Now usually when you pick a word for the year it ordinarily doesn't relate to an object.  Such words as believe, reach, simplify, be, open, yes, hope seem to be words that many choose, not something as animate as a tree.  But when you read her words I think you will understand why I was so taken by the simplicity and honesty in her affirmation.

I want to learn from the TREES. 

I want to nourish my roots. 

Nourish the deepest, most essential parts of myself.

Spiritually, emotionally and physically.

I want to go out on some limbs.

I want to bloom where I'm planted.

I want to weather the seasons. 

I want to provide a nesting place for those I love.

I want to bend without breaking.

I want to learn from the TREES.

Thank you, Adrienne for these delightful words.  You can find Adrienne and her insightful words and works at My Memory Art.  She also hosts 2 memes a week, Black and White Wednesdays and Six Word Fridays.  You might want to join in the fun.  Inspirational words by Adrienne, photos by me....
