Deep beneath the soil and rocks,
The roots of the trees reach down into a web of tiny filaments to catch the song of the earth.
A whisper and a heartbeat,
Moving through all life,
Is captured by the roots and flows ever upward.
Around the song,
The tree builds a trunk to channel the song upwards,
Which grows stronger every year.
The trunk flows into branches.
The branches flow into leaves.
The leaves reach into the air,
Reaching for you.
In their whispers,
The song of the earth rustles and waves.
The trees sway and dance with earth's language of love.
The deep,
Slow heartbeat brings the soul of the earth into the air you breathe.
Each breath in receives the song of the earth.
Each breath out is a gift to the tree.
A participation in the flow of life.
An acknowledgement.
A conversation.
A connection to all that is.
You share your truth with the tree,
With every mindful breath out.
The earth becomes you.
You become the earth.
In and out.
Out and in.
A never-ending wave of connection.
A restoration of self,
Of soul,
Of meaning.
In the embrace of the tree,
You find your soul.
In the whispers of the leaves,
You find meaning.
A breath in.
A breath out.
Giving.
Receiving.
Rising.
Falling.
Moving with the heartbeat of the earth.
You become one with the breath of life.
This is the song of the tree.
