Gods Tattoo

God’s Tattoo Did I jump too soon?? Celebrate too early?? Will I like others before? become the cliche of sports re-runs?? Will they think I am enough?? Go behind my back, Cut me out?? Did I make the right move?? Involve enough of the team?? Questions flood my brain flood? my thoughts? blocking out beauty? Pausing I see amidst the turmoil? I am not these thoughts? They are a playback of an earlier time? Stuck in an endless feedback loop? hiding the truth? Am I successful? asks this tree before me? Do I have enough?? Did I grow in the right location?? Do I have enough sunlight?? Will my offspring grow tall and be without burden? ?Will other's in my community thrive?? Will I be cut down before my time?? Did you notice my missing limb?? Do they trust me??Do they love me?? My heart knows that trees ?don't think that way? They are? All their days in the? full presence of God? Connected to heaven ?Intertwined with the earth? Allowing? Being? Dancing in place?
