I should not leave a response, but I am going to anyway.

It takes so much energy to give to others - we don't realize it.

It is easy for us to share a shoulder, a kind word, some laughter, wanting to heal everyone's hurts and take away their pain.

At the same time you are crying and bleeding inside.

You the Great Oak stand strong for those who need you. You thrive from knowing they need you.

At the same time you are frail, small, gentle and quite.

Great Oak You are beginning to lean.

You have refused to see, to listen to yourself calling.

Giving everything you have to others, neglecting yourself into numbness.

You have numbed yourself from what you want, desperately need, want and desire.

Stand back Great Oak. Rest your weary roots.

Your leaves have dropped off. Leaves, your tears. Crying from your soul.

It is time. It is time Great Oak for you to tend to yourself.

It is time you breathe, deeply inhale all that you have shared with others, to now give to yourself.

It is time to see, feel, like, love, accept, share, dare to know, to let go, let out, to play...

As you have always been the Great Oak. This magical moment you can, you are allowed to become the seedling..

As you continue tending to yourself your leaves will grow with the brilliance of many colors.

The growth of your leaves in their vibrancies will emit strength you have never known.

Then those who may need you will come you and you want them to come.


Okay, well I've written what wanted to come out - most often I don't have a choice what comes out on paper or from my mouth.

Love Susan
