Trees. The message from and the truth of the interconnected Universe manifest in plain sight. From root to crown, they are the connection between the earth and light, earth and sky. Earth and ethereal.
As I stepped into the forest, I asked for comfort and guidance. As I passed by the ancient trees, I heard their messages.
We bend with the wind; we are one with the wind.
We drink the rain; we are one with the water.
We rise from the ashes when the fire scatters our seed.
We are one with Mother Earth, who supports us and gives us strength.
Then I heard Mother Earth say
I support you in your sorrow, I carry you in your pain. I am here for you, holding you up in your joy, in your grief, in your anger. How do you know I am here for you, always? Come to me and be still. When you come to me, when you are still, you can see and feel that I am always here supporting you.
As I walked on, I opened my heart to the trees, the plants, the soil, the rocks, the air, the sunlight, the water beneath the surface.
My eyes were wide open, yet a vision unfolded in my mind’s eye.
I saw an ephemeral bright white multicolored forest and my own essence. A 3D hologram. A different, lighter, integrated, energetic dimension of the forest and myself moving through it.
It was pulsing and moving and glowing, translucent yet light, bright, shimmering, iridescent, vibrant pulsing of color and light.
Waves of interconnected energy, of which my essence was intertwined.
I breathed in deeply and breathed out gratitude and love, sending it to the forest beings around me.
I asked for their pure, wise, creative, harmonious energy to fill every cell of my being, to fill the empty space within each cell of my body and in between.
We do. We are. When you are here with us and open to us, we are one with you. Our energy is merged with yours, and we can communicate with you.
I felt and knew that the energy essence of Mother Nature—trees, ferns, soil, rocks—was filling, merging, flowing through me, moving through me, and I was one with them yet still distinct.
The web of harmonious energy, cohesive, pulsing, flowing, alive, vibrant Universal energy.
Breathing in healing and comfort and wisdom. Breathing out gratitude and love.
