Poem — I AWOKE TODAY

— I AWOKE TODAY —

I had a dream I was a branch on
The Tree of Life.
I saw myself stretching, yearning to grow, to expand, to be more.
I saw many other branches near.
They all appeared different.
Some are larger.
Some smaller.
Some longer.
Many shorter.
Some twisted.
Some straight.
Some appeared strong and healthy.
Some weak.
I remembered stretching upward.
Reaching for the sky.
Seeking more light.
Others pushed me back as they also reached up and out.
This caused me to test my resolve,
To begin to strengthen me.
Could I handle the resistance?
Was I going to continue to move upward?
Without their choices I wouldn’t be so strong.
I must remember to thank them.
There were those that I pushed back.
I hope they realized the gift that I gave them.

Certainly the larger ones below supported many of us.
Leading the way.
Giving us life.
Showing the way upward.
I must thank them also.
They told us that there are others.
———————————————-
Others that we can not see.
They are mirroring us in another reality.
They support us, giving us strength to be more.
To allow us to reach out, expand.
To be able to withstand all challenges that may come our way.

Why was I here?

I’m beginning to remember.

I’m part of a vision.
A plan.
We all volunteered to experience something new.
Something different.
As I looked at all the other branches I saw that
All their support systems led to more of the same.
We all ultimately have the same center.
The same internal supply systems.
The same community.
We are all
Part of
The same
One
TREE OF LIFE
