ODE TO THE TREE OF LIFE MYSTERY SCHOOL

---

You are everything that is awakening.

You are the spark of life within us shining inside our hearts.

You guide us through the dark.

You move us to give up everything we knew of security for the sake of freedom. 

You don’t judge humanness because you don’t see with a critical, dualistic eye.

You are strong and grounded, full of life.

You have endless possibilities.

You are what we seek and you will prepare us for revolution.

You give the outcasts and exiled a home. 

You are multidimensional and walking with us between the worlds.

You call, we answer. 

We call, you are already here.

You are the voice of our ancestors. 

You are the beauty of the Earth, sky and ocean. 

You guide us back to the value of life.

We rest in your branches, lean against your trunk, and anchor through your roots. 

You give us purpose.

You help us remember truth and challenge us to keep looking into deeper and deeper truth.

You sing and dance with us until we remember.

You turn with us through each season and cycle without fail.

You hold sacred knowledge and you share that knowledge at the exact right time and place.

You remind us we are like your trunk, a bridge between spirit and matter, heaven and earth. 

You don’t have to find anything or go anywhere and you don’t require that of us.

You are ever present.
