for she loved the trees ...

"It is difficult to realize

how great a part of all that is cheerful

and delightful in the recollections

of our own life

is associated with trees"

Last night we watched the most wonderful program

Judi Dench: my passion for trees

Being a life long tree lover/hugger it spoke to me …

Judi visited a 1,500 year old Yew Tree in Surrey England

I googled the tree and read that some believe it to be as old as 4,000 years!!

It was absolutely spectacular.

"Because they are primeval,

because they outlive us,

because they are fixed, trees seem to emanate

a sense of permanence.

And though rooted in earth, 

they seem to touch the sky"

Moon of the Changing Seasons

***

Change with the seasons

embrace new growth and shed

what no longer serves you …

Like the cycles of a tree

Go barefoot...

feel the soil between your toes

Like the roots of a tree

Allow your hair to move carefree

with the changing directions of the wind …

Like the leaves of a tree

Sway your arms and legs

and dance …

Like the branches of a tree

Let not the space you are in define you,

but the space that lies within you.

Own your space …

Like the constitution of a tree.
