This is for the tree lovers…

My mind was tired. The entrepreneur, the creative part of me was pretty tired. The manager and technician in me were pretty tired as well.

So I went to the trees.

I’ve always loved the trees. I’ve always felt a deep connection with them.

They are magnificent: tall, stable and bendable.

Recently, I have been connecting with random trees and they are filling my heart up with so much love, bringing me back to center that brings my inner entrepreneur, technician and manager back into alignment.

This helps me move forward with all my business ideas, work and actions, but mostly with my mission.

So I went to the trees today to find balance. Since I am noticing, I can feel which tree wants to spend time with me.

Today I sat with a large tree. I’m not even sure what type he was, but I sat down and got really quiet.

I spoke with him and let him speak to me.

He said to lay down all of my worries and I told him I didn’t want to hurt the tree with this burden and he said this is what we do for each other.

The tree didn’t actually say co-creation, but I felt this between the two of us.

So I laid down my burdens. Then tree asked me if I wanted to know anything about him. I know trees can present as male, female or neutral. Today I was feeling a deep masculine voice since that was what I needed.

I asked him if he’s bothered by humans and he said no, that all the trees are very neutral to all humans. I asked if there was anything he wanted me to know and he told me to close my eyes. He wanted to show me something.

When I closed my eyes he showed me what happens to the beautiful preserve once I walk onto the dirt or the grass. It all lit up and opened for me. It lit up in rainbow bright colors. It was similar to the lit up ground from the movie Avatar. It was magnificent.

All of the roots along a walking path in the forest serve as a “get to know you” system, or energy sensor. They know when to open up and communicate and they know when to close and be, what I call muggles, just regular trees.

He showed me that whenever a person goes to a tree with love and openness there is a reciprocation that happens. There is a loving kindness and calmness that is likened to the Holy Spirit.

I sat with that tree for a little bit longer just being quiet. I thanked him and he thanked me.

I told him I would tell others about the trees and he was happy.

I continued my walk and felt a lightness that I hadn’t felt in days.

A few years ago my husband and I visited the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California to see the redwoods, but mostly the sequoias. This was a bucket lister for me.

It was magical to be with the sequoias. Their bark is protective and thick and feels like styrofoam. I took time to find one and sit with it. It was so quiet. I didn’t think I was going to get a message.

After a few minutes of this incredible quiet I began to feel the message. As a multi-centenarian, their energy was slowwww. There was a quiet peace and wisdom that felt ancient and wonderful. I didn’t have a concrete message but our hearts connected.

A day or two back from our trip I received an Amazon package. Inside was a novel neither I nor any family member had ordered. I contacted Amazon to let them know and they said to keep it.

I almost gave it away to the library until I read the synopsis: restless and haunted by the broken family he left behind, he made his way alone across the country. In the redwood and giant sequoia grove he finds solace, collecting seeds for a naturalist who sells plants from the new world to the gardeners of England.

Huh. It was about a young man that was lucky enough to make money learning about the sequoia trees. Unlike the humans at that time, he revered the sequoias instead of taking them down. For interest, the book is At the Edge of the Orchard by Tracy Chevalier.

My beloved sequoia friend sent me this book. My “wordy” message showed up a few days later through a novel. I told you they move slowly!

I still connect in with this Divine Giant Sequoia to this day.

The trees are just another us; all with wild, healing and loving hearts.
