I wish to be a tree resting peacefully beside a river
Living in harmony with nature
Fed by my heavenly Father
Nurtured by his rains and warmed by his sun
Day by day soothed by his whispers in the water
Rooted to my ever-changing but loyal community
Blossoming leaves of love and branches of strength
Forever reaching out to my tree brothers and sisters

"Each man had only one genuine vocation--to find the way to himself. He may end up as a poet or madman, as prophet or criminal--that was not his affair... His task was to discover his own destiny--not an arbitrary one--and live it out."

AH I don't know why nobody has commented on this yet. It has a wonderful simplicity to it.

Also, I feel the same way and love all aspects of nature.(: Glad to have someone else as well.
