~
We are all oranges from the same tree
We are all oranges from the same tree
And we all must die or be eaten
But we leave ourselves behind
Maybe nurturing someone else
Something greater than ourselves
For that we can be thankful
The tree that gave us life will be happy
For that was our true purpose
And the seeds for new life have been planted
For we carried them inside us
We are not separate from the tree that gave us life
We are distinct
We are not the tree but we are a part of the tree
The tree made us as part of itself and knows us as such
We carry the memory of the tree with us
We carry the tree with us
And the same tree can know new life forever
By making itself anew
Over and over
Never actually ever becoming separate
Always being a tree
Even as a seed
Even as an orange
