become

Have you ever "become?" Take anything you want and become that thing. Choose a tree. Look at the tree. Not through the tree, but actually feel the tree with your eyes. Feel its perimeter. Feel its breathing. Feel its sway. Move with it. Feel the tickling rustle of leaves. Now, become that tree. Open your mind. Reverse places with the tree. Let your breathing become the trees intake of CO2. Let your exhale be the exhale of O2. Feel the breeze blow across the hairs of your arm and let it become the leaves rattling on the tree. Feel your perimeter and let it become the shape of the tree. Let the wind be happiness, or pain or whatever you wish it to be. Spread out your arms like branches. Feel the sun warm upon you. Just be...become ONE with the universe...be still...know that you are...just BE...
