Majestic
Delving into the feeling of being all that one can be
Building upon its strong foundations
Aiming onwards towards the heavens
Providing shelter and calm to all who tag along
Nurturing, often hidden, all who choose to belong
I have a deep appreciation of trees and all that they provide — their solace and shelter, their deep smell of nature, the strength they represent, their vastness and shameless taking of space, and finally their divine ancestral beauty. I admire and almost revere them — walking amongst them daily grounds me like nothing else.
I didn’t think that this fascination would reveal to me my word for 2023. One tree in particular, leafless, standing tall in all its splendor, stood out to me during a recent walk and as I awed at its beauty and the space it took, my mind blanked as I wondered just how to describe this deep, vast, sense of beauty and awe that I felt. Then, like an epiphany, it came to me. “Majestic”. I could see it, feel it. That was my word. From that time on, it was set in stone, an intention set out to the universe to manifest in ways absolutely unknown to me at this time. What would it be like I wondered, to be, to feel, to cultivate and own this feeling of being Majestic?
