🪷 Tree Mantra
a short, rhyming reminder that I want to live in self-alignment, not self-abandonment
For a longer-form poem about my journey and philosophy behind this short mantra, see my poem “Living Self-first”
I want to be
like a thriving tree,
roots firm in my ground,
not spilled all around.
Trees are great reminders of strength, perseverance, and flexibility. It's one of the reasons I'm so glad we live in a place with lots of them!
