Behold ! Trees are calling us to notice them.
Come with me on a magical journey with trees? Start noticing if trees in your neighborhood have messages that liberate you from feeling unseen and unheard. Experience the images and poetries trees in my neighborhood inspired in me, when i started noticing them on morning or afternoon walks. It’s like they saw into me and knew the medicine i needed. Tree bark images on my walks appeared with a message that liberated me from mental misconceptions and distortions i i have carried around about myself and the world around me. For example…
On a “nobody sees me, how can I get over feeling unseen” walk, i noticed this TreeOwl and paused. The eyes drew me in,and i heard, “what do you mean, nobody sees you, i see you, and you just noticed me, did you not?” Never had i experienced anything like this. Feeling seen and responded to by a tree? After this, there were many other walks … tree bark images sending me messages that could make me burst out in tears or laughter. It was easy to make my relationship with trees a place i have returned to, again and again, a Real Home.

i feel honored to share this portal for us to dwell as souls with trees and re-discover who we are, when we tune in and resonate with trees. (Interested in another example about love addiction click here).
Trees could teach me to say Yes to knowing my whole Self. They helped me realize and accept that I Am infinitely present and infinitely falling. Falling, like leaves fall in Rilke’s poem Autumn.. Resisting or denying that i am falling keeps me from enjoying life.
i believe there is a TreePoet in every neighborhood, look out for the one in yours and invite feeling seen and more rooted in earth. i feel more seen and rooted since i started noticing trees. Behold the tree bark photos, poems and chants trees gifted me with: bea Ma’s PoeTrees., PoeTree Diptychs and SoulsBleibe.

PoeTrees are calling us to notice them.
“What it is that dwelleth here,
I know not.
But my heart stands in awe
And the tears trickle down.”
