tree hugging poll

[alice-esquecida]

love hugging trees and touchinh mushrooms and smeling flowers and talking to cats
the first time i hugged a tree i was surprised about how warm it was, i expected something cold, but a tree is not cold, it has warmth in it.

With october comming up and all I thought I'd share this poem with you all ;)


An October Astonishment

by Garth Gilchrist

When I touched the yellow maple leaves
They entered me
Without my knowing

This morning after I'd picked them
I had their gold sweetness
In my veins

It was after holding them in my hands
Upon my skin
In the slant light dewy morning
Plunging my nose deep in amongst them
Wet and cold, snuffling
The autumn scent
Suffused into air and me

My eyes fixed on their open hands
Veined like mine
My fingers traced their fingers

Crimson stems in my palms
Conduits through which shape
And substance entered --
Mapleness
Only vaguely I sensed
Some ephemeral
Sap entering me

This morning, after
In my own bed I woke
Bathed full and swimming in yellow light
That hovers in and around
Smooth maple branches in late October
On crisp mornings

I'd fondled the seeds, too,
Fuzzy winged pods
Full of imperceptible roots
Bark and limbs
A million invisible leaves
I'd given handfuls to the waiting children
They went twirling
Whirling through the sky
Eager, alive with mapleness
Maybe for this

I woke that morning
Wholly content, pierced through
Astounded in my bed, wrapped
In the warm light
Of maples

I have a silver birch tree friend in the woods near me and when i feel realy shity i go and hug it with my eyes closed . I imediately feel its warmth and become calm and my brain emptys . Then i can see all the leaves at the top of the crown and see all the other leaves and branch tips that are around them and feel the wind and their movement .

In the bible it says that mankind are there to have dominion over the earth . That we are the shepards of the earth . Wich means that we are the gardners , that the earth is our domein and that it is a part of us .

I once read about a man who attached a peach tree to some sort of electric wave detector and then wired that up to a speech translater . The tree said something about a long forgotten promise . I think that it meant that as life on this planet grew and started to divide and form different life forms that there was a promise made that all of those life forms would never forget each other and would always respect each other . I think that that is written in our genes somewhere . I think that as all life forms on this planets have segments of their DNA that are the same that that means that we are all just small parts of one big animal / life form . Guess who got egoistic and greedy and forgot it and shits on the rest ???

Some times i think that it would be the best thing if we had a neuclear war , remember the holocaust in hiroshima , about the only thing that was left standing was a tree and within a year there were trees growing again .

Joany mitchel once sang:-

Dont it always seem to go
that you dont know what you have got till its gone
they paved paradise and put up a parking lot
pulled up all the trees and put em in a tree museum
and charged all the people a dollar and a half to see them


Oh shit i`m crying my eyes out again , i think i`ll have to go and hug my friend

Beatiful quote :thumbsup:

Yes i like it a lot to and sing it often very loud when i`m riding my bycycle and see plastic people messing around with nature , and thanks for the spelling corection , i was sure i had it wrong , but who cares as long as we understand each other .

 

[GOD]

And what are you doing awake at this time in the morning , have you been having a midnight tree hugging session ???

 

[Rymmen]

The one time I felt the energies of a tree, the tree seemed to expose vibes of hate and distrust. It was a city tree, though, being perpetually cut and modelled. I don't know. I decided to accept the vibes and not dwell on them.

 

[GOD]

I`ve had things like that to , when i was a kid i used to be able to touch trees and know through the warmth or the cold feel of them if i could climb them or not .

 

[Dantediv86]

[GOD]

I can think of other things that i would rather feel.......

Juicy peach... :heart: :roll:


I think most people here are in love with nature and would like to have a deeper understanding with and connection to it.
Especially trees (although I don't mind connecting to mushrooms either) because trees always seem to have this ancient, all knowing, being zen thing around them.
It's wonderful :D

Get well soon .
