Forest Thoughts

I don’t know about you, but I’ve had a bit of a hard time adjusting to this world.

You see, most people would think I’m quite strange. I probably am, but I also just see the world very differently it seems. I have never really fully understood how the entirety of the human population has come to subscribe to the fact that they must pay for basic needs to live on this Earth, for example.

And by basic needs, I mean, at least where I live, people are paying for water, food, housing, and I’m pretty sure we would pay for air if there was a way to charge how much air you use, deducting the amount of carbon dioxide you produce, of course. And when you can’t afford it for a variety of reasons you are treated like you are the most horrible person in the world, you oscillate between criminal and invisible.

It’s a little hard for me to understand how greed and money can be responsible for the destruction of the planet as we know it. When I wander about the great forests and look at the ocean I can’t help but wonder how someone would think about destroying such a beautiful place. Sure, working with the land to supply ourselves with what we need, I get. I just wonder if the people destroying things ever really take a good look at what they are destroying and let that experience speak to their hearts.

When I go for a walk in the forest I can feel the difference in the air. The smell rejuvenates me and the trees wrap their branches of love around everything including us who walk on their paths. There is no guessing game here. It’s a place that is open to giving us an experience of unconditional love that we seem to have such a hard time finding otherwise. It opens the heart, connects to the third eye, deepens the breath and relaxes the muscles.

And its so beautiful.
