Tree Time

(c)2011 Joan M. Newcomb

Last December 21st we had a Full Moon eclipse that was fully visible over my part of the planet. I stayed up hours past my bedtime to watch it. It took a good half hour for the moon to get covered, and clouds threatened to cover up the whole thing (which they did, once the moon was fully eclipsed).

I sat shivering out in my garden in the moonlight, and became aware of trees.

We have some 100ft Douglas Firs living on our land, and there, in the middle of the night, I sensed their Presence. Their energy was incredibly slow moving. Dorothy MacLean said that the Deva of Trees told her they were the ‘lungs of the world’, breathing out oxygen for us. They also seem to me to be the elephants of the plant kingdom. Ancient, wise, living in a different way of time passing.

Watching the video below, I got the sense that a year for us is like a day for Trees. Each season is a portion of their ‘day’.

They’re the Witnesses of life passing, they don’t move, they observe. Watch and see what I mean:
