Tree Telepathy
My thoughts:
A tree is not blind
or deaf
A tree is not alone
or without community
or without family
A tree is strong
A tree is wise
A tree is symbolic
A tree is metaphoric
A tree is sacred
A tree is able to be used and abused
I don't think I would have the courage to be a tree
A tree is courageous
The tree's response:
"Don't cry for me,"
said the tree.
"Learn from me
how to be,
and how to be
community....
For we already are."
~The Squirrels favorite Shagbark Hickory growing by the creek
My response:
You are the tree planted by the waters.
I want to be like you.
Though trees do not often get the respect they deserve, they are deserving.
It is towards our own peril that we undervalue the trees.
