The Wind Through The Trees

<p>Today’s episode is called The Wind Through The Trees. I’ve talked about trees a number of times on the show and of course, you know that the wind has special meaning for me as well. I’ve seen faces in trees many times and I often look at a tree and wonder what it would tell me if it could talk. Hey tree, how many nights have you spent with the howling wind ripping endlessly through your branches, with no thought about right or wrong, or whether there would be any end to the wreckless mistreatment of my branches?</p> Listen &amp; Subscribe on: <a href='https://mindfulnessmode.com/ApplePodcast'>iTunes</a> / <a href='https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/mindfulness-mode'>Stitcher</a> / <a href='http://feed.mindfulnessmode.com/'>Podbean</a> / <a href='https://overcast.fm/itunes1032063236/mindfulness-mode-interviews-mindful-tips-with-bruce-langford'>Overcast</a> / <a href='https://open.spotify.com/show/5gwe3XCsyPLcLmCIkF2iS9'>Spotify</a> Contact Info <ul><li>Website: <a href='https://mindfulnessmode.com/'>www.MindfulnessMode.com</a></li> </ul> Year After Year <p>I stand here day and night, week after week, month after month, and year after year. Decades have gone by, and the wind has shaped me. The wind has decided how streamlined I would become. The wind has been the very core of my being.</p> <p>As a tree, I am one with the wind.</p> <p>That is mindfulness. As a human, I can be one with my surroundings and that which influences me. I can be one with my body, one with my influencers, one with my thoughts. I believe in the value of this single thought; the wind through the trees.</p> Obstacles in my Way <p>As a tree, I appear vibrant and lively in the spring, when the world around me is waking up and getting ready for new growth.</p> <p>I grow another ring, an inner ring that is totally unseen from outward viewpoints.</p> <p>This is my space; this space is mine and mine alone. Birds, insects, and worms can all take up residence in me, and that only makes me better. Here I am, my best to thrive in spite of obstacles tha
