The
following
is
a
meditation
for
the
fourth
fundamental
motivation
of
existential
analysis,
helping
us
answer
the
question
of,
for
what
should
I
live
my
life?
We
offer
an
experience
of
the
possibility
of
what
it
could
be
like
to
live
with
meaning
in
your
life.
The
speaker
and
creator
is
Graham
Nelson
Zutter.
Please
take
a
moment
to
find
a
seated
position
where
your
back
is
supported,
you
feel
comfortable,
and
you
have
the
ability
to
place
your
feet
on
the
ground.
You
may
find
that
sitting
in
lotus
feels
comfortable
for
you.
Just
ask
yourself
if
it's
possible
for
this
position
to
be
more
comfortable.
Perhaps
if
seated
in
lotus,
you
may
even
place
bolsters
or
pillows
under
your
legs.
And
if
seated
in
a
chair
or
couch,
just
adjusting
your
posture,
giving
yourself
the
opportunity
to
have
some
alignment
between
your
spinal
column
and
your
head,
noticing
if
you're
leaning
forward,
backwards,
or
to
a
side,
just
seeing
if
there's
a
possibility
to
have
more
vertical
alignment,
and
inviting
you,
if
you're
not
able
to
do
so,
to
find
pillows
or
some
form
of
neck
support
for
your
neck
and
head
to
ensure
that
there's
no
strain.
And
once
you
find
yourself
in
this
position,
I
invite
you
to
gently
rest
your
hands
on
your
lap,
maybe
check
and
see
your
temperature,
noticing
if
there
are
any
adjustments
that
can
be
made.
Once
you're
seated
comfortably,
to
take
a
moment
and
feel
support
from
underneath,
noticing
that
the
support
in
the
floor
and
the
support
in
the
chair
and
couch
are
connected
to
a
larger
network
of
support.
The
floor
that
you're
on
is
connected
to
a
structure
of
a
building,
which
is
connected
to
a
foundation,
and
this
foundation
is
resting
in
the
earth.
Just
as
this
building
rests
on
its
foundations
in
the
earth,
you
too
sit
here
in
this
chair,
on
this
floor,
sharing
in
the
support,
inviting
the
groundedness
of
the
earth
to
come
up
through
the
foundations
of
this
building,
the
structure
of
this
building,
to
the
floor,
to
your
feet,
and
to
your
lower
legs,
upper
legs,
glutes,
and
sitting
bones.
Asking
yourself
if
it's
possible
to
invite
more
of
this
grounded
energy
into
your
body.
The
idea
of
electrical
grounding
or
energy
grounding
might
become
helpful
here,
thinking
of
how
excess
energy
that
might
be
present
in
your
body
has
the
opportunity
now
to
go
through
your
feet
to
find
some
balance,
and
this
excess
of
energy
is
able
to
leave
and
dissipate
through
your
body
gently
without
any
effort,
and
as
that
charge
leaves
your
body,
just
checking
to
see
if
you're
willing
to
accept
this
grounded
energy
in
its
place,
inviting
this
balance
within
the
body,
and
shifting
your
attention
to
your
breath
without
the
need
to
change
how
you're
breathing,
just
noticing
that
you've
been
breathing
this
whole
time.
There's
no
need
to
control
how
you're
breathing,
and
it
can
be
helpful
to
notice
that
you
are
inviting
this
oxygen
-rich
air
into
the
openness
of
your
lungs
as
they
expand,
and
as
you
exhale,
allowing
this
carbon
dioxide
to
release,
to
relax
out
of
your
body,
both
the
in
-breath
and
out
-breath,
not
requiring
any
additional
effort,
holding
the
awareness
that
your
body
will
continue
to
breathe
whether
you
focus
on
the
breath
or
not.
You
may
recall
that
the
oxygen
you
breathe
is
part
of
the
oxygen
that
all
of
the
beautiful
plants
of
this
earth
create.
As
the
as
the
photon
hits
the
carbon
dioxide
molecule,
the
very
same
carbon
dioxide
you
exhale,
the
light
splits
the
CO2
into
carbon
and
oxygen,
the
plant
keeping
the
carbon
for
its
growth
and
releasing
the
oxygen
back
into
the
air
for
you
to
breathe
the
very
same
oxygen
that
you're
breathing
now
with
every
inhale.
You
may
notice
places
where
your
skin
is
exposed
to
the
air,
just
noticing
what
it's
like
to
be
in
contact
with
the
air,
and
you're
also
wearing
a
mask.
You
may
notice
places
where
your
skin
is
covered
with
clothing,
sticking
in
this
difference
in
temperature,
perhaps
noticing
texture
or
light
pressure
of
your
clothing,
becoming
aware
again
that
you
have
this
flexible
boundary
between
you
and
the
world.
Wherever
you
go,
your
skin
and
your
clothing
go
with
you.
Again,
nothing
is
required
for
you
to
do
here.
This
natural,
flexible
boundary
is
here
to
protect
you,
whether
you
focus
on
it
or
not.
Your
breathing
will
continue
to
nourish
your
body
with
rich
oxygen
from
these
plants,
whether
you
focus
on
it
or
not,
and
the
earth
will
continue
to
support
you,
holding
you
from
below,
whether
you
focus
on
it
or
not.
In
our
previous
journey
together,
we
had
the
delightful
experience
of
encountering
our
special
tree,
and
I
invite
you
at
this
time
to
meander
down
the
paths
that
lead
you
from
your
home
to
this
park
or
meadow,
making
your
way
back
to
your
beautiful
tree.
And
as
you
come
upon
the
tree,
noticing
again
its
shape,
its
width
and
height,
the
shape
and
color
of
its
canopy,
noticing
its
branches,
its
bows
and
its
trunk,
and
noticing
whether
it
has
leaves
or
needles
and
the
color
of
these
leaves
and
needles.
And
as
you
continue
to
walk
gently
towards
your
tree,
something
new
is
visible
to
you.
Your
tree
has
started
to
change
in
a
really
interesting
way.
As
you
look
at
the
branches
of
your
tree,
you
notice
that
they
seem
laden,
bending
downwards
in
a
way
that
they
hadn't
been
before.
And
as
you
get
closer
and
closer
to
the
branches,
you
notice
that
this
tree
has
produced
fruit.
Now,
the
nature
of
the
fruit
of
your
tree
will
be
specific
to
your
tree,
and
I
invite
you
to
allow
this
fruit
to
emerge
in
just
the
way
that
it
chooses.
The
fruit
of
your
tree
may
be
known
to
you.
It
may
be
a
type
of
fruit
that
you
are
aware
of.
It
may
also
show
up
as
something
new
and
unique
that
you've
never
seen
before.
I
invite
you
to
allow
the
fruiting
of
this
tree
to
be
exactly
as
it
is,
showing
up
with
curiosity
about
the
nature
of
this
fruit.
For
some,
the
fruit
may
be
fleshy
and
may
have
a
large
seed
within.
For
others,
the
fruit
may
be
fleshy
and
have
many
small
seeds
within.
For
others,
the
fruit
may
be
hard
like
a
nut.
And
for
others,
the
fruit
may
appear
more
like
a
cone
of
some
kind
with
texture.
Just
take
a
moment
to
really
notice
the
color,
the
shape,
the
texture,
the
weight
of
your
tree's
fruit.
And
as
you
look
at
the
ripe
fruit
on
the
branches
of
your
tree,
you
notice
that
some
of
this
fruit
has
already
fallen.
And
as
you
turn
your
gaze
downwards
towards
your
feet,
you
notice
that
below
the
branches
of
your
tree,
some
of
its
fruit
has
already
fallen
to
the
earth,
resting
gently
in
grasses
or
moss.
You
find
a
fully
intact
fruit.
This
fruit
has
no
bruises
and
is
ripe
and
ready.
And
you
reach
down
and
pick
up
the
fruit
left
to
you,
offered
to
you
by
your
tree.
As
you
hold
your
fruit,
noticing
its
weight,
how
hard
or
soft
it
is,
bringing
it
up
to
your
nose
and
smelling
it,
noticing
if
it
has
smells
that
are
more
sugary
or
sweet
or
pungent
or
perhaps
more
woody
and
nutty
or
something
entirely
new
and
different.
Just
taking
the
time
to
allow
your
senses
to
notice
what
this
fruit
is
like.
And
luckily,
you've
brought
a
bag
with
you.
And
you
take
a
moment
to
gently
place
this
fruit
inside
your
bag,
looking
upward
to
your
tree,
letting
the
tree
know
that
you
intend
to
enjoy
and
take
care
of
this
fruit.
Perhaps
offering
some
thanks
for
the
unexpected,
beautiful
gift
and
letting
your
tree
know
that
you'll
be
heading
home
and
that
you
look
forward
to
the
next
time
that
you
encounter
each
other.
And
then
gently
churning
away
towards
the
path
that
leads
out
of
the
meadow
and
the
park
towards
your
home.
As
you
make
your
way
home,
you
feel
the
bag,
thinking
about
the
fruit
within
it.
And
you're
suddenly
aware
that
not
only
is
this
fruit,
it's
also
a
seed.
On
your
way
home,
as
you
ponder
this
unexpected
gift,
you
contemplate
the
idea,
the
possibility
that
this
seed
holds
the
power
and
ability
to
become
a
whole
new
tree
under
the
right
conditions,
with
the
right
support,
with
the
right
care,
with
the
right
protection,
with
the
right
amount
of
water
and
attention.
This
seed
could
become
a
little
version
of
your
tree.
And
it
dawns
on
you
that
at
your
home,
you
have
some
potting
soil.
You
recall
that
in
your
home,
there's
a
really
nice
place
in
front
of
a
window
where
you
could
plant
and
nurse
a
baby
tree.
As
you
get
home,
you
find
your
soil,
you
find
a
little
cup
with
holes
or
a
little
nursing
pot,
and
you
prepare
the
location
for
this
seed
to
begin
this
process
of
transforming
into
a
baby
tree.
If
your
fruit
has
flesh,
then
you
gently
remove
this
flesh
from
your
tree.
You
may
notice
that
this
flesh
is
either
edible
or
not
edible.
Trusting
your
instincts
around
this
choice
and
deciding
whether
the
smell
and
flavor
of
this
fruit
is
one
that
you
choose
to
consume
or
don't,
and
you
collect
the
seeds
or
pit
from
this
fruit,
making
sure
it's
nice,
clean,
and
ready
to
be
planted.
Somehow
you
know
just
how
deep
in
the
soil
your
seed
should
be.
For
some
seeds,
they
need
to
be
a
few
inches
down.
For
others,
only
a
centimeter
or
two.
And
for
other
seeds,
they
prefer
to
rest
atop
the
soil.
Somehow
you
know
exactly
the
right
way
to
plant
your
seed.
And
you
give
just
the
right
amount
of
water
to
your
seed,
wetting
the
soil
on
this
first
day.
And
you
feel
this
sense
of
hopefulness
and
contentment,
this
unexpected
possibility
of
new
life,
this
desire
to
care
for
another
living
being.
And
noticing
how
the
relationship
with
you
and
your
tree
has
the
possibility
of
becoming
something
new.
It's
possible
that
you
may
be
caring
for
the
child
of
this
beautiful
tree
that
you
found
in
the
park.
And
content
with
this
opportunity,
you
go
about
your
day,
eventually
going
to
sleep.
The
following
day,
you
wake,
checking
in
on
your
seed,
noticing
that
the
soil
could
use
some
water.
You
go
ahead
and
water
the
soil,
noticing
as
you
put
this
effort
into
supporting
the
possibility
of
this
new
growth,
there
is
this
building
sense
of
excitement
and
anticipation.
Something
cool
might
happen.
And
if
you
continue
your
efforts,
you
may
just
discover
that
your
seed
has
sprouted.
And
you
go
about
your
day
doing
the
things
you
do.
And
you
come
home,
going
back
to
sleep,
waking
again,
watering
your
seed
again,
checking
to
see
if
it
sprouted.
Not
yet,
but
maybe
soon.
And
you
go
about
your
day
doing
the
things
you
do.
And
you
return
home
and
go
to
bed
again.
And
the
following
morning,
you
get
up
and
you
check
on
your
seed
again,
watering
the
soil
again,
noticing
not
yet.
It
hasn't
sprouted.
Hoping
that
it
will
soon.
And
you
go
about
your
day
again
and
come
home
and
eventually
go
back
to
sleep
and
wake
again.
And
this
cycle
continues
each
day
with
you
tending
to
the
seed,
making
sure
it's
nice
and
moist,
that
there's
enough
water
for
it
to
wake
from
its
slumber.
And
you
wake
again,
going
to
check
in
on
your
seed.
And
much
to
your
delight
and
surprise,
you
discover
a
little
green
shoot
sticking
out
of
the
soil.
What
a
delight.
All
of
your
efforts
have
gone
towards
this
critical
moment,
this
beautiful
moment
where
you
can
tell
that
the
seed
has
awoken
and
a
baby
tree
is
now
sprouting.
Soon
after
this
moment,
you
find
yourself
walking
around
and
you
have
this
urge
to
go
and
see
your
big
tree
in
the
park
that
you've
been
going
to.
And
there's
this
feeling
of
excitement
and
anticipation.
You're
going
to
let
this
tree
know
that
its
seed
has
produced
offspring
and
there's
a
little
baby
tree
in
your
house.
And
off
you
go
to
your
park
and
you
go
see
your
big
tree
and
you
let
your
tree
know
the
good
news.
And
there's
this
shift,
subtle
shift
in
the
relationship
between
you
and
this
wonderful
tree.
There's
a
sense
of
connection
and
responsibility
and
possibility
that
wasn't
there
before.
The
connection
was
lovely
and
yet
there's
something
new
and
special
here.
This
possibility
of
life
in
the
future,
something
growing
into
something
bigger.
And
there's
a
sense
of
glow
between
you
and
this
big
tree,
the
parent
tree
in
the
park.
And
having
had
a
moment
of
appreciation
and
connection
and
hopefulness
with
this
big
tree,
you
decide
to
take
the
path,
eventually
returning
to
your
home.
And
you
go
to
bed
and
you
wake
up
the
next
morning
and
discover
that
this
beautiful
little
sprout
is
even
taller
than
it
was
the
day
before.
And
with
care
and
excitement
and
encouragement,
you
offer
this
sprouting
baby
tree
more
water.
And
you
go
about
your
day
with
this
special
glow,
knowing
that
you're
involved
fundamentally
in
supporting
the
growth
of
life
itself.
And
this
big,
beautiful
tree
that's
been
so
kind
to
you,
that's
offered
you
a
place
of
relaxation,
a
place
of
support
and
protection,
you're
able
to
do
something
nice
in
reciprocity
with
this
tree.
Your
care,
your
attention
and
your
appreciation
for
the
fruit
and
seed
from
this
tree
has
resulted
in
this
beautiful
baby
tree
growing
bit
by
bit
in
your
home.
And
every
day
you
check
in
on
this
baby
tree,
noticing
its
progress.
And
every
night
you
go
to
sleep
with
this
feeling
of
having
contributed
to
the
life
of
another
living
creature,
knowing
that
this
is
also
the
offspring,
the
child
of
that
big,
beautiful
tree,
your
favorite
tree
in
the
park.
And
day
by
day,
week
by
week,
this
baby
tree
gets
bigger
and
bigger
to
the
point
where
you
notice
that
it's
outgrown
its
pot.
It's
time
for
a
new
pot.
And
with
care
and
gentleness,
you
prepare
the
new
pot
with
more
potting
soil
and
you
help
loosen
the
roots
of
the
baby.
And
you
transplant
this
beautiful
baby
tree
into
its
new
pot.
And
position
the
new
pot,
again,
close
to
the
window
where
this
growing
baby
tree
gets
lots
of
light.
Just
the
right
amount
of
light
for
what
it
prefers,
offering
more
water
and
welcoming
it
into
its
new
pot.
And
as
the
days
go
on
and
the
weeks
go
on,
this
baby
tree
grows
and
grows
to
the
point
where
it
doesn't
really
feel
like
it's
a
baby
anymore.
And
yet
again,
you
notice
that
it's
outgrown
the
pot
that
it's
in.
And
you
find
the
lovely
new
pot
for
it
and
even
more
potting
soil.
And
you
prepare
the
soil
to
transplant
this
baby
tree,
or
now
adolescent
tree,
yet
again,
loosening
its
roots,
placing
it
in
the
new
pot
with
new
soil,
and
offering
it
water
to
help
it
grow.
Again,
positioning
it
near
the
window
with
just
the
right
amount
of
light
for
it
to
thrive.
And
as
the
days
go
on,
and
as
the
weeks
go
on,
you
discover
again
that
this
little
one
has
grown
and
grown
and
now
is
ready
for
a
new
pot
yet
again.
And
you
prepare
this
new
pot
with
care,
with
fresh
soil,
and
you
transplant
this
adolescent
tree
into
its
new
pot
again,
loosening
its
roots,
allowing
it
to
settle
into
its
new
pot
with
fresh
water.
Again,
placed
by
the
window
with
just
the
right
amount
of
sunlight
for
this
adolescent
plant
to
thrive.
And
the
days
go
by,
and
the
weeks
go
by,
and
the
months
go
by.
And
before
you
know
it,
this
adolescent
tree
is
as
tall
as
you.
It
has
definitely
outgrown
its
pot
yet
again.
And
it's
now
time
to
consider
whether
it
could
go
outside.
And
although
you
love
having
this
beautiful
tree
in
your
home,
this
tree
is
getting
big
and
strong
and
is
ready
to
be
out
there
in
the
world,
participating
in
nature.
And
as
you
consider
this,
although
there's
some
sadness
that
this
tree
won't
be
inside
your
home
every
day
to
enjoy,
there's
this
possibility
of
a
perfect
location.
As
you
think
about
where
this
tree
could
live
outside,
this
beautiful
spot
comes
to
mind.
And
as
you
think
it
over,
you
go,
and
you
say
to
yourself,
yeah,
I
think
I
have
just
the
right
spot.
And
you
go
back
to
the
park
where
the
big
parent
tree
is.
And
with
much
delight
and
anticipation,
you
have
this
moment
where
you
acknowledge
the
fruit
that
fell
from
this
tree
not
that
long
ago,
that
had
a
seed
within
it,
that
you
cared
for,
that
you
took
home,
that
you
planted,
that
you
watered,
that
you
transplanted,
that
you
cared
for,
is
now
ready
to
be
out
in
nature,
noticing
the
cycle
of
life
continuing
and
the
opportunity
for
this
tree
to
be
enjoyed
by
others.
And
you
let
the
big
parent
tree
know
that
you
have
just
a
spot
in
mind.
And
although
this
tree
doesn't
seem
to
use
words
with
you,
you
have
this
sense
of
reciprocity
from
this
tree
and
even
a
sense
of
thanks
and
appreciation
from
the
tree
to
you
for
doing
such
a
good
job
of
caring
for
its
young.
And
off
you
go
back
home,
and
you
prepare
your
adolescent
tree
that's
already
taller
than
you
at
this
point
to
be
transplanted
to
its
new
home.
And
off
you
go
to
that
very
special
place
together.
Perhaps
you
have
a
cart
with
you,
or
something
that
can
help
you
carry
this
much
larger
tree
than
the
little
baby
one
that
you
first
sprouted
at
home.
And
you
make
your
way
to
the
location
that
this
tree
is
going
to
grow
and
thrive.
And
you
dig
the
hole,
and
you
dig
it
deeper,
and
you
get
it
to
just
the
right
depth
for
this
tree
to
grow
into.
And
you
have
all
the
soil
you
need,
and
you
go
ahead
and
you
transplant
this
tree
from
its
pot
into
the
earth.
And
for
the
life,
it
has
the
pleasure
of
being
planted
directly
in
the
earth.
And
you
water
it,
and
you
make
sure
it's
doing
well.
You
add
any
topsoil
that
it
needs,
making
sure
that
it's
nice
and
stable.
And
you
say
a
little
goodbye
to
this
tree
that
you
raised
in
your
home
that's
now
ready
for
the
outside
world
and
to
be
part
of
nature.
As
you
walk
away,
you
give
a
little
wave
to
your
tree,
heading
home,
thinking
about
how
happy
it's
going
to
be
now
that
it's
able
to
reach
out
and
begin
to
grow
into
its
full
potential
in
nature.
This
tree
is
big
enough
and
strong
enough
now
that
it
can
make
it
on
its
own.
It
can
even
find
its
own
water.
And
the
next
day,
you
go
back
to
check
on
it.
And
sure
enough,
it's
doing
wonderfully
in
its
new
spot.
And
you
go
about
your
day,
go
to
sleep.
And
the
next
day,
you
come
back
and
check
again.
And
it's
doing
wonderfully
in
its
new
spot.
You
picked
just
the
right
spot
for
it.
You
put
your
hand
in
the
soil
and
notice
that
it's
still
nice
and
moist,
and
the
tree
doesn't
need
any
watering.
It's
doing
great
on
its
own.
And
every
day
for
the
next
few
weeks,
you
come
by
to
check
and
see
how
your
tree
is
doing.
And
it's
doing
wonderfully.
And
before
you
know
it,
the
seasons
are
changing.
And
it's
possible
that
if
you
have
the
type
of
tree
that
changes
with
the
season,
that
your
tree
begins
to
go
through
some
of
these
seasonal
changes.
You
may
also
have
the
kind
of
tree
that
doesn't
go
through
these
seasonal
changes
and
stays
just
the
way
it
is.
And
as
the
weather
begins
to
change
to
cooler
temperatures,
your
tree
does
just
great.
You
feel
like
you
don't
have
to
check
on
it
quite
as
frequently
as
before.
You
pop
by
at
least
once
a
week,
sometimes
more,
sometimes
less.
And
every
time
you
pop
by,
you
notice
your
tree
has
gotten
bigger
and
bigger.
And
as
the
weeks
go
by
and
the
months
go
by,
spring
returns,
and
you
find
that
your
tree
continues
to
thrive.
And
as
the
seasons
go
by,
your
tree
continues
to
adapt
and
grow
and
thrive
and
adapt
and
grow
and
thrive
and
adapt
and
grow
and
thrive.
And
as
the
months
and
years
go
on,
you
continue
to
age,
noticing
the
natural
transition
of
your
body.
And
you
go
and
check
in
on
your
baby
tree
that
is
no
longer
a
baby,
and
notice
that
it
has
matured
into
a
sturdy,
beautiful
tree.
It
has
so
many
of
the
characteristics,
colors,
shape,
and
textures
of
its
parent
tree
in
that
beautiful
park.
And
there's
a
sense
of
appreciation
that
you
have
been
part
of
life
perpetuating.
You've
been
an
essential
ingredient
in
the
success
of
this
life.
And
as
you
come
back
and
check
on
this
tree,
from
time
to
time,
you
notice
that
other
people
are
enjoying
it
too.
Sometimes
children
play
under
this
tree.
Sometimes
teenagers
and
adults
lean
against
this
tree,
reading
books,
listening
to
music,
meditating,
or
having
naps.
And
as
your
life
goes
on
and
you
continue
to
age,
you
realize
that
this
tree
is
still
growing.
And
it
dawns
on
you
one
day
that
this
tree
is
very
likely
to
outlive
you.
And
although
your
life
may
come
to
its
natural
human
end,
something
really
beautiful
has
been
left
here.
The
care,
comfort,
and
support
that
offer
this
tree
have
allowed
it
to
become
something
really
special.
Your
continued
efforts
to
help
raise
this
tree
and
to
find
a
place
for
it
to
thrive.
All
of
these
efforts,
all
of
this
activity,
have
helped
this
tree
grow
from
a
tiny
little
sprout
into
this
big,
beautiful
tree
you
see
before
you.
So
similar
in
stature
and
strength
and
beauty
to
its
parent.
You
have
been
able
to
enjoy
the
process
of
witnessing
this
life
thrive.
And
you've
created,
co
-created,
this
opportunity
for
others
to
enjoy
such
a
beautiful
tree.
And
maybe
in
the
future,
the
tree
that
you
planted
will
finally
get
to
maturity,
where
it
too
produces
fruit.
And
at
some
point
in
the
future,
someone
like
you
may
stand
there
admiring
this
beautiful
tree
that
you
planted
and
notice
that
this
tree
has
also
borne
fruit
and
left
it
gently
on
the
ground.
And
this
person
too
may
take
this
fruit
home,
discovering
its
seed,
helping
this
little
one
churn
into
a
new
tree.
As
the
tree
you
planted
continues
to
grow,
a
bunch
of
wonderful
creatures
have
decided
to
make
it
a
home.
Some
parts
of
the
year,
birds
make
their
nests
in
this
tree,
providing
them
with
a
space
to
raise
their
young.
And
deep
down
in
the
roots,
this
tree
connects
to
the
mycelial
network,
touching
other
roots,
sharing
resources,
connecting
to
a
larger
network
of
nature.
One
day,
someone
plants
a
tree
nearby,
and
deep
down
in
the
roots,
the
tree
that
you
planted
and
this
new
tree
connect.
Your
tree
notices
that
this
other
tree
is
young
and
could
use
some
support
and
offers
it
to
share
its
carbon
and
its
water
and
resources,
helping
this
younger
one
grow
into
a
big,
strong
tree
as
well.
And
as
the
years
go
on,
more
and
more
animals
make
homes
in
these
trees.
And
more
and
more
people
have
the
opportunity
to
enjoy
spending
time
under
this
tree,
this
tree
that
you
planted
so
many
years
ago.
I
encourage
you
to
take
a
few
moments
to
return
to
your
body,
return
to
this
room,
into
the
shared
space
where
you
are
in
together,
be
finding
your
breath,
noticing
the
floor
under
your
feet.
And
in
your
own
time,
I
invite
you
to
gently
open
your
eyes
and
come
back
into
the
shared
space.
