Looking Up at the Tree of Life...We're Finally HOME.

I walk as a child through the lands of sand and stone – alone…All but a presence that is with me; and has been the whole time. I did not come here seeking solace, comfort or shade, but understanding…

Life is so beautiful; but we are often cruel to it, and to each other. Why? …When the water of life is right here? It comes – just before our eyes; but we must feel the tug to be a part of what’s there…Before we can feel and see – the beauty of it, and ourselves. As a child we knew this…Long before, we understood. We sought to be a part of that – first; not because of fear, but through a curiosity that was always there, when we first opened our eyes…

If what is here – is a part of my world…Then, I seek to be connected to that (in) joy. That’s life’s very first impulse…To celebrate the positive emotions that come from knowing you are a part of what’s present, with you. That’s how we know – who and where we are, right now.

…We lost the real part of us – to protect “the idea of ourselves” for nothing.

When you’re one with someone or something…You don’t lose yourself…Nor, do they.

Together…In that joy – you become and are – far more, than before. (That’s the only real secret there is; as far as we are concerned. Not the one found in any movie or written down in any ancient text.) You already know this truth – from your experience…Before you read the words – that try to explain and contain it…It was always, right there.

…The fear of losing something – good for us…Was the thought that removed us from “our place” of contentment and peace – inside and out. But, we had to lose it to come back to it…To then, see – and know it in its fullness. Now that I’ve been separated from my joy…I understand the true importance of it…

We’ve been fighting one another for a sin that wasn’t ours. It was part of a much bigger plan – than a negative thrown into a perfect mix – could ever inspire. To come home – you have to leave it, first…Then, you can understand the complete circle from both sides…

And…It’s good to be home, isn’t it?

…Now that I’m done wandering through hazy eyes, I’ve come back to a very familiar tree. After our long embrace…It silently asks me: What do you wish for, my son? Fame, riches, wealth, joy…What is it?

And, my reply to it is only this: None of these things has ever meant anything to me; without love underneath them. Do I wish to be famous, rich, wealthy and happy…Sure. Why Not?! Sounds nice; but for only one thing. And, what would that – be?

I desire for everyone to stand…Where I do now.

…In the full knowing that it’s more than good to be as happy as possible – from a very deep place inside…One that doesn’t have to “lose” the joy of what’s there – on the outside, too. Those two ends are always connected together.

…To have hearts and souls feel and see for themselves…That all we’ve been fighting and dying for here – could have and can be avoided. In 200, 000 years, or even in the short time that I’ve been here…Being at home with oneself, alongside another…Is the Easiest Thing in the World to Do. (That’s what the Tree taught me.) And…We are – here together, right now.

…How does that – feel?                       

It feels like Home. No tears, no misery, no confusion, and no mystery to unravel or solve. We’re just sharing an enjoyable moment in time here – and that’s it.

And…Through this, we see the opportunity we have – to keep that smile where it is, right now.

WE…Didn’t need to go – anywhere else. We just needed to recognize, we’re already – here. Now, smile about that fact…And, keep the reasons that allow it to stay there more often – there between you, without stress. Utilize one another, to do – just that. And, that’s it.

Now…You know – what I do.  

How often you choose to come back here…Now that you know THE Biggest Secret in the World…Is the only question you’ll ever need to ask – and answer. You’ve always – had the means to know this, all along.

And, now that you do…What will you do – with it?

Tell, not me – but yourself. And, when you do…Tell another. (Not with words.) Smile at, and – with them.

Appreciate that you can do this, right now…And – do it. See for yourself – what really happens: There. Then, you won't be afraid, anymore.

There is nothing more for you to do – or to know here. Everything else that’s good or desired will follow this recognition: We’re HOME – right here…And, always have been.

It doesn't matter if you're the tallest or the only tree in existence...If you look around, carefully…You’ll find even more reasons to keep on smiling; and you’ll create so many more opportunities to do that, as well. That was the plan from the very beginning. Keep giving ourselves another reason to smile...And, that smile will stay...Right where it is now.

That's how you grew to where you are, right now...And, that's how you'll keep on growing, taller still.

WE...Keep the reasons to smile here with us: By doing so. And, by appreciating what's helping us to do that, as well.

That's how OUR CIRCLE always stays connected and FULL: Inside and Out.

Joy now; and more later on.

Together...We're making This: OUR experience of life.

And, in that Extension of Combined Positive Energy...Also known as Synergy...Everyone loses the least; and gains the most.

Including you...And me, too.

Now you know exactly – what the Tree does.

(How does it feel – to know That?)
