Shall we pray for Wisdom
to not know what we think we know
to see the wisdom of the tree
which lives fully empowered
by the earth its roots silently
nourishing not only itself
but its neighbors also
giving shelter freely to birds
shading big and little creatures
in its collected compost
so ancient a recycling
of its discarded and released leaves
of exhausted helpfulness
to absorb its silence
is to be content......
