  Dear friend,        Stand tall and proud    Sink your roots deeply into the earth Reflect the light of a greater source       Think long term  Go out on a limb       Remember your place among all living beings Embrace with joy the changing seasons  For each yields it's own abundance  The energy and birth of spring  The growth and contentment the of summer  The wisdom to let go of leaves in the fall  The rest and quiet renewal of winter     Feel the wind and the sun      And delight in their presence Look up at  the moon that shines down upon you  And the mystery of the stars at night. Seek nourishment from the good things in life.    Simple pleasures Earth,fresh air, light Be content with your natural beauty    Drink plenty of water Let your limbs sway  and dance in the breezes        Be flexible    Remember your roots Enjoy the view!                                                   -Ilan shamir
