Keep A Tree In Your Heart

A tree says: My strength is trust.

 

I know nothing about my fathers, I know nothing about the thousand children that every year spring out of me.

 

I live out the secret of my seed to the very end, and I care for nothing else. I trust that God is in me. I trust that my labor is holy. Out of this trust I live.

When we are stricken and cannot bear our lives any longer....

 

Then a tree has something to say to us:

Be still! Be still! Look at me!

Life is not easy, life is not difficult.

 

You are anxious because your path leads away from mother and home. But every step and every day lead you back again to the mother. Home is neither here nor there.

 

Home is within you, or home is nowhere at all.

― Hermann Hesse, Bäume. Betrachtungen und Gedichte
