THE TREE ABOVE —THE TREE BELOW

by Timothy Leary

What is above is below

What is without is within
What is to come is in the past

Tall... deep... tree... green... branching... leaf
Root... above... below... thrusting... coiling
Sky... earth... stem... root
Leaf... green... sap
Soil... air
Seed Soil... visible Hidden... breathing... sucking Bud... ooze... sun... damp Light.. dark... bright... decay... laugh Tear.. vein.,. rain... mud branch... root

What is above is below

What is without is within
What is to come is in the past

These wooden carvings displayed in her endless shelves
Await
Within each uncut branch—
The carver's knife

—from Psychedelic Prayers
