I don't usually converse with a group but I did not want to single any one of you out...because you are all so elegant and stately. Each of you are the same, yet different. Your bark is similar with distinctive markings.
As I look up to see you in your fullness I feel like I am looking into the unknown. Amazing too, are the number of branches that stretch out from each of you at your peak. You truly fill me with awe.
I love that together you have formed a circle of unity and it touches my heart.
As you tower into the sky what an incredible perspective you have on all that is around you, You know the bigger picture that is not visible to most of us. At the same time, does your height not make you a target in a storm?
Does your height reflect your years or is that the nature of who you are? Being so tall, does it limit your awareness of what is going on so far below you? So many questions but I really want to know.
I think I could sit beneath you for a long time.
What would you say to me dear tree family I would most appreciate your wisdom and what ever else you would like to share.
Dear Assunta,
We are glad to share with you as a group and grateful that you choose to seek out our wisdom. Our height does not signify our years for it is the gift of who we are as Redwoods. We do have a sense of the "big picture" and that can be one of our gifts to you and to those who ask. That same big picture, gives us the story of what is going on below us, but not in as much detail. I hear your question of whether or not the lowest parts of ourselves could clue us in to the details below and that is true. Our sight and understanding comes from all of our Being not just the peak.Just as your sight is not limited to a part of you but to all parts within your range of vision.
Storms have found us, but we maintain a steady balance with the whole of our family here, (trees and all beings) so it is not as often as you would think. That circle of unity that you noticed is one of the reasons we can stand tall and free as their is little negative energy between and among us.
So.. our gifts to you might be...a reminder to keep looking for the big picture...stand tall and honor your own uniqueness, be mindful of the energy you put out and use that energy to build unity and oneness. And..
relax...this conversation was difficult for you today because you kept doubting what your heart was hearing. Trust, enjoy, let go. More and more of the human family are coming to know that they can share with us...so enjoy and thank you for choosing us today.
Thank you dear Trees, I was letting my head keep doubting my heart. Thank you for your beauty and wisdom and I'm so glad we are One Family.
