Live Oak Wisdom

A Lesson From the Trees

“It is human nature and human folly to take ownership of what was never theirs. From the gifts of nature to us, to the opinions of others about us, to the personal fears and pride within us...relinquish ownership of these and you behold freedom. Freedom to relate, freedom to commune, to see and be seen, help and be helped and, above all, to love and be loved in return. So, with renewed understanding, love deeply, love truly, and love freely.”
