One Tree

These blessed summer days, spending more time with butterfly bush and purple cone flowers instead of breakfast table newspapers. Sitting in my garden I am so focused on sky and clouds and the movement of trees in the morning breeze. Incredible movement of individual leaves attached to the same tree but turning and twisting, dancing differently, each unique leaf. The whole is, for the watcher, a felt experience of intensely energizing creativity. A glimpse of a world. Each of us in primary, dynamic relationship while still being of one tree.

As I meditate this morning feeling those close to me, my prayer opens gradually to the further reaches of humanity. It is a journey into the spirit of the world even as I sit in my garden.

Blessings to the world
