to tree or not to tree?
Posted in Dahn Yoga, Life Lessons, Peace, Personal Development, Questions, Wisdom | By happysmile |
i sometimes think it’d be nice to be a tree. to feel rooted into the earh feeling the warmth of the sun and coolness of the breeze all day long in nature’s arms.
but then i wonder you can’t decide which way you go. you just have to go along with the wind. being pushed around, not really having any say at all. even though a great tree could be so beautiful and vast, i wonder really would they feel free?

Did you ever think about it as learning to live within the rhythm of nature?? Perhaps it is really about practicing the art of living in this world without losing your inner peace of mind? Nature reminds us that the way to balance and harmony is to learn to live according to its cyclical patterns.
The year shifts rhythmically in terms of seasons, right? New energy rises in the spring, reaches maturity in summer, declines in autumn, followed by an interlude of perfect balance, then rejuvenates in winter. The idea is to align ourselves to the shifting seasonal energies in order to achieve optimal harmony and balance.
We demonstrate this through HSP! Also, if you think about tea time after each class. Doesn’t the composition of the tea change with the seasons as well to help the changing needs of our bodies ????????

Now that was poignant.

The beauty of the tree is that they don’t feel emotion about being rooted to the ground and blown by the wind. A tree is just a tree, that’s it. Simple and strong. We should be more like the tree.

Every existance on this earth has it’s own purpose and role……I wouldn’t mind being a tree and keep growing up with all the distractions like storm….^^
