Tree Poetry

Looking for inspiration for my class this evening I came across this poem on the web:

Breath by J. Daniel Beaudry

Tree, gather up my thoughts
like the clouds in your branches
Draw up my soul
like the waters in your root

In the arteries of your trunk
bring me together
Through your leaves
breathe out the sky




(particularly great because i'm planning a class on Muscle Energy -- specifically drawing up from foot to pelvis)
