The trees are the Elders of the Earth. Go to the forest or to the mountains and find a young tree. Then find an old tree. Spend time with each. Sit by the young tree and listen to your thoughts. Then move to an old tree and listen to your thoughts again. Just being in the presence of an old tree, you will feel more calm. Your thoughts will contain wisdom and your answers will be deeper. Why is this so? These old trees know more, have heard more, and are the Elders of the Earth. We must ensure these trees live so we can learn from them.


My Creator, help me to protect the trees and listen to them.

I love this Spirit Dancer. .... Trees are sentient beings guarding the air and cleansing impurities from the air. They don't have any way to speak, except when the wind blows through their boughs.
