The Far Travels Of A Tree

I never saw a discontented tree.


They grip the ground as though they liked it, and
 though fast rooted
they travel about as far as we do.

They go wandering forth in all directions with every wind,

going and coming like ourselves,

traveling with us around the
 sun two million miles a day,

and through space heaven knows how 
fast and far!

~ John Muir

Awake To Another Sun, Grateful

O Great Spirit,
I awake to another sun,
grateful for gifts bestowed,
granted one by one.

Sun, Moon, Rain, & Wind Nourishes Your Life

May the sun bring you new energy by day; 

may the moon softly restore you by night;
may the rain wash away your worries;
may the breeze blow new strength into your being.
