unconditional love | Monday Mindfulness

I am made of grace

Flowing and free

A mystery force

Unseen yet felt

Barreling through corridors

Softly pressing against your body

Making my way.

Often unnoticed

Unappreciated

Lonely at times

Ignored unless I rage

Stoking flames

Tipping trees

Whipping myself around wildly

Roaring in your ears.

Do you notice my work

Clearing old leaves from the trees,

Making wild flowers dance,

Brightening your cheeks?

Or are you only frustrated

As I muss your hair,

Push against you,

Rip through your windows?

Invite me in,

Swirl with me,

Experience my grace as your own.

Help me avoid the need to burst into flames

Or wither to nothing just to be noticed,

To feel connected to you.

Honor not just my ferociousness

But the power in my grace.

Stand in the forest and just listen. You will hear the trees singing. It’s a quiet song that floats on the breeze as they gently sway in the currents of the air. Their song says “I love you…for all that is you…no matter what comes with you into the forest.” The trees welcome you, happy to have you there, just as you are.

Carry the kindness of the trees with you as you move through the jungle of life. Welcome all, just as it is. Then, feel the joy rise up in you that comes from this unconditional love. Feel the joy of being a tree swaying in the breeze, singing songs of love.
