What love and protection

for your very own being?

A cup of water & a tree
Words for practice
Here you will find an invitation to rest
by drinking a glass of water
and being near a tree.
Feel free to practice these words,
and please, today,
love your being (and all beings)
by honoring its need for rest.
Now, fill a up a glass of water, and find a chair.
Rest here awhile.
Yes, please, sit down.
Let your body be still.
Shh. Rest.
Relax.
Be gentle as you
notice
Noise — thoughts humming
The release of muscles
activated who knows how long
the tension and soreness that remains
Be gentle as you notice
Gentle, as you allow
your body to settle
Here is a glass of water
Drink some
It’s life
Sip and notice
Cool life
as it moves
from the back of your tongue
through your chest
into your belly
Thank you, Water
Set down the glass.
Let water rest.
Stay. Rest here awhile.
Notice
When you’re ready.
Find a tree
Stand near it
Touch it with your hand
What does it tell you?
What do you tell it?
Stay by the tree.
Rest here awhile.
Notice
the thaw
the smells
the tiny insects
flying again
the breeze
the sun and shade
Here, you are.
Here am I.
Rest here awhile.
Take a deep breath of Enough.
There is Enough here.
Rest into Enough.
Rest here awhile.

Logion 25
Love your brother and your sister
as your very own being.
Protect them as you would
the pupil of your eye.
