Today I took mine and my sisters dogs on a walk. She is out of town and thought I LOVE and look so forward everyday to our daily walks/talks together, there is something magical about my walks I have been taking alone lately, with the dogs.
Today our walk was amazing, it was warm, sunny and snowing very lightly, it looked like little crystals falling from the sky. On our walk yesterday, it was a little windy out so when we got to the section of our walk that is a big open field, the show had blown over our compacted path, the whole field was smooth and flawless,and covered in 'diamonds.' The sun was hitting the snow perfectly so that light pink and blue pastel-y colors were reflecting off the snow, it seemed like heaven... aside from the fact that we had to create a new path in which the snow was mid-thigh... needless to say the pups were exhausted by the end of it, as was I! This is a football field after all, very big. I was sure before we set out on our adventure around this field to create another path that I had walked this field so many times before that I KNEW I would stumble across the old path under neath the new snow and from there on the walk would be a breeze. Well, the old path was no where to be found! I could help but to laugh hysterically with how much work this was and just how deep each and EVERY step was. after 30 feet or so of walking, the dogs were even looking at me like "MOM! are you kidding me, you didn't think this through did you?" it was quite the journey, to say the least. The snow was practically over their heads, which isn't that hard to be, my dogs aren't THAT tall, and Toby the tiniest of them all insisted I carry him, he really dosnt weigh much but he seemed like 100lbs having to carry him through that.
It turned out to be lots of fun, I choose to believe that we all laughed the whole way through it, perhaps out of frustration, but also out of thrill and the adventure of it!
We got back on the path through the forest and when we were about 5 minutes to the end, the tree to my right spoke! she said "kreeeeeeek!" in a high pitch. I stoped in my tracks to listen and she did it again, the second I acknowledged her, the tree to my left spoke as well only in a much deeper pitch, than they all started talking! They all had such different sounds. I looked around to take note of the weather, perhaps the wind was blowing them and making them make these noises, but nope,no wind, none! I looked around thinking "this is amazing!".... "what are you saying?" I pulled out some corn and rose petals and gave mucho gratitude. I could feel hot tingling in my solar plexus, it was pretty cool. But I am stumped now because... I have never really talked to a tree before. With animals it was a bit easier because I could go home and pull the animal card and read about the message this certain animal brings, but trees?? I don't have tree cards.. There were clearly talking to me, I'm not delusional, I walk that path EVERYDAY and they never have don't that before, but I am determined to get to the bottom on this.
Of course my natural reaction is "make an appointment with Kathryn and ask her what they were trying to tell me." or "wright EarthSong and tell her my story and see what she has to say about this"
but this time,I think this is for me and for me alone, I don't want to always have to ask someone to explain these experiences I am having, even if I don't get the message right away... I have to get it eventually, right? YES!
It really was a beautiful experience and I couldn't help but to feel very flattered.
These trees are so beautiful and wise and I would love to learn from them.
THANK YOU TREE PEOPLE.
