The Neighboring Tree
“Stability emerges collectively.”
No structure endures alone.
The symbol
You have been operating as if your stability were your own achievement. It is not. The structures around you — the people, the systems, the environments you depend on without acknowledging it — are load-bearing elements of your life. You stand in a grove, not alone, and the grove's health is your health, whether or not you attend to it.
The gift
The neighboring tree gives you a stability that self-reliance cannot produce.
The shadow
Your shadow is the belief that needing the neighbor diminishes you.
