Lost

Lost

Stand still. The trees ahead and bushes beside you
Are not lost. Wherever you are is called Here,
And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers,
I have made this place around you,
If you leave it you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven.
No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you,
You are surely lost. Stand still. The forest knows
Where you are. You must let it find you.

I have this tree in front of my house pointing me the way to God. It reminded me of how I see this tree and it comes back to me trough your writings. Thank you for that.

I have a picture of the tree here: (hope the link works) the title of the picture is; “the distance between God and a tree-top”
