APPLE TREE
I am the apple tree giving apples so freely
I am the mother feeding my baby
I am the earth in harmony
I AM
Living spirit in a human body
Blessed to receive these gifts
Cherished for the beingness
Presence; I AM
I am the river flowing to ocean
I am the lotus growing in a swamp
I am the seed turning into tree
I AM
I am lion eating rabbit
I am duck swimming in pond
I am the lover and the beloved
I AM
Living spirit in this seeming chaos
Receiving the love as lover Earth makes love to me
With her rivers flowing into oceans
She makes love to me
With her warm sun caressing my uncovered body
She makes love to me
With her reflecting my own beauty
She makes love to me
With her generosity, giving herself to me so completely
I will rape her no more
I wont hurt my lover
As I see her love
As I see her love, I am whole
She has healed my wounds
It doesn’t hurt no more
As I see her love, I am whole
I too can be love
I choose to live as the apple tree
Giving my gifts so freely
I am in love
I AM.

Unconditional (Jennifer Welwood)
Willing to experience aloneness,
I discover connection everywhere;
Turning to face my fear,
I meet the warrior who lives within;
Opening to my loss,
I gain the embrace of the universe;
Surrendering into emptiness,
I find fullness without end.
Each condition I flee from pursues me,
Each condition I welcome transforms me
And becomes itself transformed
Into its radiant jewel-like essence.
I bow to the one who has made it so,
Who has crafted this Master Game.
To play it is purest delight;
To honor its form--true devotion.

This passage reminds me that maybe it is not in the words that we convey, but in the presence that we share, that is most significant.
