Trees teach us
that we have to ground ourselves
before we can expand.
Water teaches us
that even though life is unpredictable and always changing,
the flow of life is always forward.
Wind teaches us
to trust the things we can’t see
since those are the true forces that move us along.
Stars teach us
that only on the darkest nights
can we clearly see true beauty.
Flowers teach us
that we don’t have to try to be anything else other than what we are
to become something beautiful.
Earth teaches us
that no matter what happens
we will always be supported.
We belong on its belly.
