If only trees could talk...

Words from the Redwood Forest near Mendocino, California

A while ago, my husband and I spent a few days in Mendocino California in November 2021. During our time there, we drove a couple of times through a magical and majestic Redwood Forest. I felt the need to stop there and just listen. We parked the car and I stepped into the forest, found a comfortable tree trunk to sit down and simply asked the following question:

“Let me feel what it’s like to be part of your community”. These are the words that I heard, some of them may resonate, others may sound strange. I am sharing them because I promised I would and because I believe so deeply that we are all connected, not just to the world of humans but also to the animal kingdom, the plant kingdom and the spirit world. May these words bring peace and reassurance to whomever needs to hear them. I also truly believe that we can all listen and hear the voices of animals, plants and other invisible beings. We all have that gift and can learn to listen again.

“We embrace each other; we are the circle of life and listen to each other. Our roots are deep and very wide; they mingle and hold each other. We feed and nurture each other as well as all surrounding beings. Most people don’t see us for who we are. We are the holders of Ancient Wisdom. The Art of Ancient Tree Wisdom has been lost.

 We are compassionate beings and are surrounded by compassionate beings. Most of these beings are invisible to your eyes but you can feel them. They are beings of light and “lightness”. They thrive here. They laugh and smile and bring lightheartedness. Humans have forgotten how to honor the Elders (trees) and smile with the Lightbeings. Blessed is he who can do both. Blessed is he who takes time to pause and feel us.

We are all connected, the visible and the invisible. We are hand in hand, root in root, wing in wing. Feel the breeze that brings the stories of past times. Feel the breeze that tells us of Ancient Medicine. The Plants are your healers and your guides. Listen to them! The Animals are your Spirit Guides, listen to them! Feel the vibration of our roots under your feet, feel the vibration of our crowns above your head. We bring hope and healing. We bring guidance. You are us and we are you. Breathe this in. Follow your path, breathe and expand. Allow yourself to spread your wings; the Animals and the Plants are calling you.

Spread our words; write our wisdom. Call on us; journey with us and come back to this magical place of healing and wisdom. Thank you for sharing this. We are one; you are our voice. Blessed be.
