Each autumn I am drawn back to these lines of a poem by E E Cummings, a wind has blown the rain away:a wind has blown the rain away and blown the sky away and all the leaves away, and the trees stand.
Wonderful photos and reflections, thank you for sharing 🙏 I’ve been contemplating and writing about deep time recently and I had wanted to include a layer about “tree time” but the piece was already beginning to sprawl. Now I feel inspired to get pen to paper again. 🌳 x
As always well-timed and poignant. It speaks to me right now as I work with healing and re-energising. Finding roots to reach towards heaven in this time of massive upheaval and change. Sometimes it feels overwhelming. I find your words and wisdom reassuring. Thank you. 🙏
Dear Linda, thank you as always for your words and the space you have held for me and others as we gather in your 'studio without walls'. The trees I have met and moved with in sessions this year are surely holding and rooting me, and perhaps most importantly giving me a sense of something beyond time, and this feels very peaceful in me. Much love and gratitude.
What a beautiful and moving post, Linda. Thank you.
My mother was not a spiritually oriented person. A few months before she died in an accident she shared something with me about her awakened perception of trees. She was stunned and awed by her recognition that she too was like the trees, part of nature, living and glorious for a time ... and then not. She was deepening and asking questions. I believe her questions were part of her process, the process that didn't end when she left her body on the road.
Your words and beautiful pictures invited me deep into my own tree and trees. The community of rootedness and connection, the expression, the fearlessness and determination...and back again.
Thank you so much for sharing this Patty. I'm sorry to learn of your mother's sudden death - so hard to process events like that. But I'm also very touched to read what you say about her 'awakening' - almost as if her spirit was already preparing to move on.
Thank you, Linda. I feel very strongly that her spirit was preparing to move on. I experienced her passing a few months after that to be a powerful transformative for her... and for me. It has been 34 years since that explosive moment of meeting each other at our essences. 💞

So glad this inspired you to go further with deep time reflections. I really enjoyed your writing on this - such a fascinating theme.

Thank you Anna. It's so good to know my words spoke to you in a reassuring way. We all need some reassurance right now!
You are one of the few that makes any sense right now. 🙏
That's so kind of you to say so 🙏

Thank you Melissa for reading and appreciating - yes, we have shared many profound moments here with the trees and the space.
