Seek out a Tree and it will teach you Stillness.

~ Eckhart Tolle ~

I love this Eucalyptus tree with the beautiful wrinkles at the boughs.

 Trees are growing where they are for hundreds of years if they are lucky enough to survive humanity.    They cannot walk to a new spot if they get sick of the view.   They show us real stability and strength as they withstand all that comes their way. 

They see the sun rise and set and they weather mighty storms and winds and at other times a tree can just be and relax in the gentle moonlight.   I wonder what a tree feels when it sees a seedling growing nearby?

 Look at a tree, a flower, a plant.

Let your awareness rest upon it.

How still they are, how deeply rooted in Being.

Allow nature to teach you stillness.

Loving arms outstretched to the world.

I am sure that trees feel things.  I am sure trees are intuitive to our feelings and emotions through our resonant vibrational output onto the air around us. I describe it as a sympathetic resonance going backwards and forwards between the tree and me.  

When I am very distraught about missing my children and not seeing them, I often take it to the tree just down from my house.  I go and lay my palms flat against the trunk and ask for help,  I must see the tree as a grand father figure, solemn and consistent.  

I can see this particular tree from my bed, and so its usually visible through all of  the windows of my house on that side and it is  very visible from anywhere outside in the backyard. What pleasure I receive from this. It is such a comfort to me when I feel like I am getting down in my spirit.

The tree knows all of everything before I say anything.  Nature is fully aware of the circumstances and situations facing us.  Nature has already taken the necessary steps to re-erect herself and hold her head high and keep her place in our solar system in continuum regardless of us mere mortals.  Nature is perhaps thinking mankind is not so kind after all.
