It was a tree.
A living, breathing, whispering tree.
In a world that keeps pulling our attention outward, trees remind us to come back.
Back to what is natural.
Back to what is real.
Back to ourselves.
Whenever life gets loud, I go to the trees.
That is where I find my best consultant.
Here is what trees are teaching me:
Roots
Strength doesn’t show off. It grounds. Everything real begins here, in trust, silence, and the unseen.
Trunk
Stillness is strength. Power stands tall without noise. Presence doesn’t need to shout.
Branches
There’s always another way to grow. Storms test you. Growth answers back.
Leaves
Letting go is wisdom in motion. Every release clears space for what’s next.
Fruits
You only harvest what you’ve truly nurtured. What you feed with care will feed you back.
Crown
Presence is wisdom. Beauty happens when your inner light meets the world’s light.
Every extraordinary guest experience, every meaningful hire, begins in the same place.
Not in noise, but in presence.
And maybe that is what the Earth is asking of us now.
To slow down. To listen.
To remember that the most important meeting is not on your calendar.
It is the meeting with silence.
Where energy returns.
Where clarity begins.
Where you finally remember what it feels like to be in your heart.
