The Red Tree

Monika and I just began our day with homemade Pumpkin Lattés and conversation about our last seminar in Maulburg. The red tree outside the window is shining as it always does, in rain, snow, or sun. The red tree is a great Teacher. It can teach us that we, too, can shine in all kinds of weather. It can teach us that our inner state is not dependent upon whether we are in the midst of storms or clouds or sun. The True Sun shines brightly from Within at all times. It is not that it is not always there; it is that we are not always aware of it. (Maybe the tree is more burgundy. You can't see its true colors here. View from Monika's balcony on the 2nd floor).
