Trees by 10
As markers of here,
between ere and there
As story-sharers
of liberty, of history
As boundary pointers
of location deeds
As memory makers
of rootedness fair
As photographic stills
indicators of growing
As wood stones of
persons who transitioned
As commemoration
of something celebrated
As holders of messages
a display of disgust or wishes
As umbrellas of shade
for hot day respite
As reminders in cities
of the distant wild woods
__Acknowledge The Language
of Trees, pg 173 for muse

The path of your legacy contribution is a confusing matter. When designed in your words, because you think it is useful, you receive little response. Another designed in their words, you discover it does not light your path. Now what? #Thinking outloud this morning ... after writing into the journal and going for a walk with the dog. #thursdayvibes |
When someone asks me what I do - I share: Writer as Educator; Fully Human Mapper; Nature-Aware Navigator; Experience Celebrant; Legacy Weaver --- the response, "that's nice!" or "what else have you got?" |

The choice of movement; your decision to move. ........... .are about everyday occurrences while living life when & where your decisions experience the extraordinary With #Sunday movement, your #decisions are met by your #experience of the #extraordinary - mine today was seeing the great blue #heron standing tall in the creek as I walked to the river and back! #nature #legacy #wellth |

For getting the movement I request, it often means forgetting some of the causes of the movement. Even the space between words makes a movemental difference. |
What value do you assign your intention? Expressions of intention include mission with others, purpose for self, and vision shared. These expressions encompass the values of truth, worth, & utility |
Use Network Management for the Well-Living Organization #3 of 10 considerations... When you are living your #legacy in the #workplace... https://wellthmovement.com/legacy-well-living-organization |
In the movement you encourage, it frames your continuum of capabilities through capacity. In between them & together, and for reasons beyond are culture with others, context for self, & competence & continuance shared. |
The perspective of experience you gained, does it mean you can-will-did share a point of view based on that perspective? Worth asking - because the answers forecast significance. |
Your experience is a two sided coin. The experience you unfold becomes an experience others enfold. You walk with others. Your POV from experiences is an expression of sharing #Experience the extraordinary --- walk with #Nature --- for self and with others --- spend your experience with wellthy intentions --- enjoy being natural! #legacy #soloaging |
Growth is a mix of Improve, Focus, and Strengthen. These frame IFS, the push and pull IFS of learning-knowing-sharing. Also, these IFS remind you of your Imagined FutureS! To improve, focus, and strengthen - a daily occurrence --- often one in front of the other two --- and, sometimes in pairs, and occasionally all three. It's a wonderful day as they unfold - and now, their possible application to #EarthDay2023 #Saturday #onwoard! |
