Daily Bit Of Beauty

"See how trees are completely themselves. Unlike humans, they have not split themselves in two. They do not live through mental images of themselves, so they do not need to be concerned with trying to protect and enhance those images. All things in nature are not only one with themselves but also one with the totality. They haven't removed themselves from the fabric of the whole by claiming a separate existence: 'me' and the rest of the universe. The contemplation of nature can fee you of that 'me,' the great troublemaker."
~Eckhart Tolle, Stillness Speaks
