Dear Tree Loving Friends

Thank you for your many messages of love and gratitude for the ancient Redwoods.  A few months ago, my Camphor tree whispered an idea to me, “Invite people to write messages to honor the ancient Redwoods trees”. The request was sent via social media and personal mailing lists. I received 72 messages from tree lovers in 6 countries.  The messages came in a variety of forms: long messages that read like poetry, short notes of five words, greetings from trees many miles away, song lyrics and an audio spoken in the language of light.  All were written from the heart. 

My friend Rhonda Richardson and I traveled to Jed Smith State Park in northern California where we met Garth M.  Garth has lived among the Redwoods for the past 1 ½ years. We were joined by Garth’s friend Anastasia and her dog, Sparky. Garth has a tree ally he calls Grandfather. Grandfather is one of the Redwood giants and has a burl at his base which is like a seat or “knee”.  On Sept 15, 2022 Rhonda, Garth, Anastasia and I gathered with Grandfather to read aloud our messages of gratitude to the Redwoods.

The reading of the messages was full of synchronicities and magic.  As we stood around the base of Grandfather, a park ranger named Wonder Heart approached us. Her scheduled nature walk was not going to take place, so we invited her to join us to read the messages. Wonder Heart had a crystal bowl with her which she played for us and gifted us with a beautiful meditation. Together, the five of us opened an energetic container. One by one we sat on Grandfather’s knee and read your messages.  Shafts of light illuminated us as we read.  The branches of neighboring trees leaned in so that they could also hear the messages. It was a beautiful and moving experience to offer your messages of love and gratitude. In a later meditation connecting to the trees, the trees told Rhonda that our love initiative was “closing the gap” between human and tree consciousness.  The trees spoke to me about the importance and power of our group consciousness in strengthening the partnership between tree beings and of humanity for the evolution of the trees, humans, all beings seen and unseen and beloved Gaia.  

Many thanks to you, our kindred tree loving humans, Garth, Anastasia, Wonder Heart and all the Tree beings around the world. Special thanks to Grandfather who agreed to work with us and who is energetically continuing to share our messages with trees far and wide through roots and mycelium.

I have attached photos of Grandfather (you can see his knee on the bottom right); a group photo of Anastasia and Sparky, Bev, Rhonda, and Garth; Anastasia reading to Grandfather and Wonder Heart with her crystal bowl.
