'Take a Moment Says the Tree' Original

There’s a beautiful pale blue, a calming energy, that draws me to this tree. As I move closer, my awareness becomes focused on the tree alone. My eyes run over its trunk and soak up the array of colours and textures of the bark. The pen-like squiggles of the scribbly gum moth larvae make me smile, just because they are there. I am grateful for this moment of peace and joy and wonder. Of being fully present. It is the tree’s gift to me. – CS
