Today’s photo is of a branch from an oak tree with some acorn caps attached. What struck me about this is that, until today, I have never seen acorns still on a tree, only strewn all over the grass underneath them. And even this branch doesn’t have the acorns, just the caps.
I wonder why that is.
I love acorns. And I am always amazed when I look at them knowing that one day, they will become huge oak trees. They are entirely whole and complete, with everything they need to become mighty oaks other than nutrition, sun, and water. I try to remind myself when I feel depressed or simply “not enough,” that all sentient beings are brought to life whole and complete. They have no need to achieve anything, prove anything, or validate themselves in any way.
What if you started every day knowing and believing that you are enough just as you are – just for being alive?
