“What it is that dwelleth here,
I know not.
But my heart stands in awe And the tears trickle down.”
~ 11th Cent Japan
Start noticing if trees in your neighborhood have messages that liberate you from feeling unseen and unheard. There is a TreePoet in every neighborhood, i believe, look out for the one in yours.
i invite you to experience the images and tree poetries i encountered when i started noticing trees in my neighborhood on morning or afternoon walks. It’s like trees saw into me and knew the medicine i needed. Tree bark images appeared with messages that liberated me from mental misconceptions and distortions i carried around, about myself and the world around me. Take this owl for example…
Read about my encounter with TreeOwl:
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. —beaMa
