Of this tree

......it is a beautiful world ~

All of The time ~
...
We can manage the spin .....
With its sweet gravity!

The tree was not trying to be a home or ships or books!
And yet ......

it is all of those things ~..Without being chopped and shaved!

We sail on the exquisite air ~
She provides.....

We read the light ~
Filtered   through it's branches ~

We live in the rooms of her seasons!

The moon sees more than we do ~

And a park is like a leaf
Blown far from a forest!

And then caged!

Our calling tree is calling back to the forest ~

Through the mists of time!!
Through man made frequencies and satellites ~

And when we allow it
~

through us!

And we reconnect with souls and places that have always been ~

Our truth
Our balance ~
Is somehow restored!

so now that we have allowed this landscape to absorb us...

We can hear the calling tree ......

all the time!!
