Trees Poem by Lefkos Anastasiades
Trees
- They are Life
In its Majestic Quiet form.
Collecting Wisdom
For countless years. Or,
Are they the very essence
Of Wisdom itself.
- Remaining still
In unity with Earth,
Peaceful and Trusting.
Patient and Loving.
- Minute their needs are,
The Center of life they become.
They give sustenance to all.
In harmony with Nature's moods,
Adapting and Accepting.
Supporting and Providing.
- Keen in awareness
Of the few important elements
Air, Sun, some Earth and Moisture
- No need to talk, fly or walk.
Ever quiet at the same spot
They are what they are.
- Legs, wings and brains
Are of no use
When one with Humble needs
Stands without fear,
And with deep roots.
- One end within mother Earth
The other up to father Sun
They stand with plain gratitude.
- Their mysterious nature
Safely hidden in silence.
Pure Spiritual beings
They are what they are.
- Trees,
- The most blessed
Life-forms on Earth.
By suspending Thinking and ignoring the "Ego" we can be transported to the blessed space that Jesus spoke about and Buddha has described as Nirvana.
It appears that the connecting path toward the spiritual level is like a wormhole available to all and does not require any struggle (just faith)or any specific knowledge.
In Orthodox Christianity we call such process Humility. The entrance to this path appears when it is unobstructed by the Ego. The expected sacrifice of the Ego is very much compensated with the resulting immersion in the experience of the "Truth".
It is such a blessing!
I am very Grateful!
