"Lost"

"Lost" by David Wagoner

This is a poem that Oprah read during the Chapter 5 webcast of A New Earth, by Eckhart Tolle.

Stand still.
The trees ahead and bushes beside you are not lost.
Wherever you are is called Here, And you must treat it as a powerful stranger,
Must ask permission to know it and be known.
The forest breathes. Listen. It answers, I have made this place around you. I
f you leave it, you may come back again, saying Here.
No two trees are the same to Raven. No two branches are the same to Wren.
If what a tree or a bush does is lost on you, You are surely lost.
Stand still. The forest knows Where you are. You must let it find you.

Interesting don't you think?
Hmmmm. (I'm still thinking)
~ Col
