Dear lonely tree,

I am feeling lonely tonight as well.  Does talking to trees make me crazy.  I love you and all your kin and I want to help others love you too.  Yet I resist doing more.  Does helping humans fall in love with the Earth seem like a crazy idea?  A life long pursuit?  And yet...it is your beauty and your pain that so is like our own and you do and can teach us if we are willing.  You stand alone and yet you honor your standing and your life.  You do not try to hide or diminish your self.  You stand without support from your family of trees and you are beautiful in your standing.

Help me to be willing to stand on my belief that Nature does speak if we are willing to listen.  What would you say to me, dear Tree?

Dear Sunti,
Standing alone is not easy as you say..I too question my being..as I dwell here..what do I give? Do I matter to anyone?  That is the cry of all of us, human and non human, Yes?  You say you want to help humans fall in love with the earth, is that a worthwhile pursuit..I say to you dear lonely one, it is a most worthy pursuit, because in doing so, you will save us, your kin, from the destruction that comes from being perceived as objects rather than Beings of worth, with purpose and beauty of our own.

You will also bring much joy to the human family as they discover their true kinship with us and how we can help to heal one another.  Thank you for being willing to stand alone and to risk such a pursuit.  Let us strengthen one another as we give fully of who and what we are.  We truly are not lonely, as we are immersed in family, it only seems that way when we focus on our individual selves and our pursuits.  That is not bad..to focus on our pursuits..as long as we do not forget our connectedness and all that it gives us, and asks of us too.

Thank you again, for being willing to stand.  You give me strength to continue standing as well, by recognizing my beingness.. As I said, we can strengthen one another.
