Episode 37: Weathered Tree

The context of the reading is the way the heart is affected by the winds and storms that assail it. A tree on a cliff that has been weathered and shaped, some would say mangled, by the forces that bear down up on it. But it survived because it was shaped and changed to survive. It’s not like other trees, it doesn’t just grow upright because it’s in the middle of the forest. It Is unique and contains strong roots, deep striving fingers. The question becomes what is it that you truly desire. Your wish, not a fleeting fancy, but the deeper desire within your depths, that is what your waves can bring you. Examine the things you want and see what is beneath them, what is driving them. That is your true desire. How are your emotions filters for how you understand what’s around you. How are you examining the world? What does your desire have to do with that view? Jealousy and inspiration can draw breath from the same thing, but one will drown you while the other will lift you up, carry you forward. Now is the time to take action, to burn brightly with your generative fire and do something. Break it down, find a way. Make the little changes and take the little steps. What we do, we do for others, whether we know it or not. You have an effect on the broader community and you must accept that as part of why you take the actions you do. Big or small, there are reverberation in the cosmic ocean. What will you resonate?
