Your roots teach us
The meaning and stability of secure attachment
That through grounding
We too can grow
Your leaves invite us
To trust the cyclical nature of life
That surrender is not goodbye
But rather a requirement for evolution
Your buds, blossoms and seeds
Remind us to feed ourself
And thank, not only the earth
But the creator who made her and everything she possesses
Your bark, rock, sap and dew
Call us to uphold our basic rights, boundaries and inherent protections from the elements
That we are equipped to withstand the batterings of wind, rain, fire and snow
Your inhabitants
Are mirrors of the multitude of life within us all
From the microscopic to the macro
Biomes, beetles, birds and four legged beasts
Reflect our wildness
As we bathe in your being
And remember
We’re one

Then all the trees of the forest will sing for joy-Psalm 96
He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leads me to still waters -Psalm 23
Let the animals roam free-Isaiah 32
Be nice to the planet-1 Corinthians 4
War is domestic violence against Mother Earth-Numbers 35

I walked in the woods with my dad today. We stopped so many times. He’s 87. The walks remind me of those I took with my daughter when she was a toddler. We wouldn’t make much ground. But we’d see so much. The art of nature is the reason we are here, or at least is our guide. Who was that guy who said he discovered the universe contemplating a drop of water?

“The art of nature is the reason we are here” beautiful words B. You’re the best kind of dad for teaching your baby about this greatest gift of all. Not sure who said that last quote though, …Masaru Emoto?

Oh! He’s the guy that studied the affect of emotions on ice crystals. Interesting. I don’t disagree with the idea. But my opinions don’t really weigh much in the world. I think humans put less regard in the idea of meshing emotions than we should. I think that we share a lot more than we understand. It might sound strange. I like to speculate from the gut. It’s not always that realistic.
