Soak up the sun.
Affirm life's magic.
Be graceful in the wind.
Stand tall after a storm.
Feel refreshed after it rains.
Grow strong without notice.
Be prepared for each season.
Provide shelter to strangers.
Hang tough through a cold spell.
Emerge renewed at the first signs of spring.
Stay deeply rooted while reaching for the sky.
Be still long enough to
hear your own leaves rustling..
