My Tree Self

by Georg Feuerstein

              
                    I
                    stand

                    firmly as an oak

                    unimpeded

                    by the winds of life.

                    My arms reach

                    upward

                    like a noble sequoia

                    yearning for the light.

                    I abide

                    in patient silence,

                    all time banished.

                    No thoughts or images

                    disturb the stillness

                    of my mind.

                    My breath rises from

                    the ground to the heavens,

                    and carries my spirit

                    to the luminous realms

                    where all beings

                    are one—tree, Earth, and I.
