The trunk of the great tree is connected
To its branches that are connected to its leaves
The trunk connects to the roots
Who are embedded in the earth
that drinks the rain that has fallen from the clouds
Who are highlighted by the sun
that warmed the wind
That rustles through the leaves
attached to the branches
which hold the nest that houses the bird
who flies down in the warm wind
To land on the rain soaked earth
To pluck from it a worm that has
Been living in its home in the roots
Of the great tree
The tree is connected to everything around it
Like we are connected to everything around us
We are shifting
Connecting
Moving toward a transformation
Of self
That will lead to a transformation
Of all
We are open to all there is
Reaching out with all we are
Like the branches of the great tree
And as our connection grows
Each branch grows
Nurturing new branches from each bow
The tree that is Life
Expands and Evolves
In never ending possibility
Our connection spreads
Our branches flourish
And the branch that is me
Touches the branch that is you
Your branch touches another
And another until our tree is
Thick and full
Warmed by the light of a world of hearts
Nourished by the falling of a world of tears
Rooted by the trunk of a world as one
And like the Great Tree is Connected
Within itself
But also connected to the earth and sky
As we are connected to Our Inner Self
But also to others and Life
