Look at the message I sent to a dear friend from Hong Kong 😂
Trees have always been a big part of my life- I had three spruce trees outside my childhood bedroom on the farm. I always felt safe when I looked at them. I love seeing the different kinds of trees in different countries, how their greens are different shades and vibrancies. I love my backyard trees!
I remember the first time I really talked to a tree. I was walking in the bush near my house by the car dealership. I was feeling sorry for myself, wondering how I could feel alive again. And then a leafy tree branch smacked me right in the face. I said, "oh, hello!" And I could hear it talking back to me. It reminded me that everything has Spirit- everything is alive, from the trees and grass to the furniture and Kleenex in your house. Everything has been made by someone or something, everything is alive. Everything has Spirit!
Start saying hi to your house plants, your yard, your walls in your home. Say sorry for dropping that spoon, for bumping into the table, for being rough with the dishes. Talk to your things and see how your world changes as you start interacting differently with your world and your environment. I do it outloud but I understand this makes me look a little nutty lol! Do it in your mind, from the heart.
This is the fastest way to come alive again. Act as though the world is with you- that it cares about you, and is alive. Because it is! And so are you 🥰
Go talk to a tree today, you'll be surprised at what it tells you 💝
