"Every time I have been lost, it is because I made

something outside of myself my Touch Tree-

an institution, a relationship, tribal belonging, an old

version of myself, ideals, expectations, other people's

definitions of success, approval.

So now, when I find myself feeling lost, I remember that 

I am my own Touch Tree, and everything that I need is

inside of me.

You are your own Touch Tree.

Everything you need is inside you.

Everything we've ever done or been 

or lost is beneath us,

feeding us.

We are our own TOUCH TREES."
