The Brightness that Loves Us

This is translated from tree talk and I thought it was wonderful so I thought I would share it with you now.

How this conversation with trees in my yard started was that they noticed I was trying to protect the trees P,G&E wants to cut down in my yard that I planted as babies years ago now. So, they were aware of this I guess and I am always surprised at what trees know and don't know and what they think about everything. Though they are more group think than people are (at least in the western world) they also are still individuals. So, It might be easier for someone in Asia for example to talk to trees rather than a rugged individualist American in many situations.

So, sometimes I struggle trying to communicate because I am very individualized as an American. But because I am father and grandfather and husband I have a lot of patience as well in listening to what their questions are and what they have to say.

I asked them if it would be okay to share the conversations I had with all of them today and they said "yes" because they all want better communication with human beings in general because that might save more of their lives plus they often like Human beings because humans are symbiotic with trees even in that we breathe the oxygen they make for us and they breathe the carbon dioxide that we make for them. So, we are symbiotic physically in regard to breathing so often we are symbiotic in other ways too.

I'm going to fudge a little because it will be difficult to translate into English otherwise so  please bear with me:

"Do you think you can save those trees lives?" the backyard trees said. I said, "Well. It's 50-50 for a lot of reasons but I tried." Then they said:"The ones nearest the transformer (they don't know what a transformer is and called it a BUZZ BUZZ instead) want to die because they don't like the buzz buzz all the time."

So, I said to them: "The Buzz Buzz is electricity." They said "What's electricity?" and I said after thinking about it for awhile: "It's lightning that we can control." They of course were terrified of lightning because they can't get away from it when it strikes and kills many trees especially on higher hills. They said, "Lightning is scary!" And I said, "Yes. But, humans have found ways to control it so it doesn't just explode bang but can use it more slowly so the lightning doesn't kill us."

Then they asked where lightning comes from and I said, "I'm not sure but it might come from the sun"

And then they said, "Oh. The Brightness that loves us!" And I swooned with the love that they have for the sun. It totally made my day to experience the deep love that they have for the sun like an ever present God to them when the sun is out which is why I used it in my title.

They asked if men have ever been to the sun and I told them men can't go there because our bodies would burn up. The sun is very hot like a fire. They seemed concerned about the sun being hot like a fire because fires terrify Trees probably more than anything because it is so painful for them to burn to death much like a human being burnt at the stake when they are tied there and can't get away.

However, I didn't tell them yet that I have been into the sun soul traveling. But, they just told me Trees Soul Travel too often and their most enlightened and old trees have spoken of traveling into the sun too but they say that conversation is for another day because it's too different than anything I could understand at present.

So, just like I try to protect trees they also try to protect me and often call me "Tree Man" because I can communicate like they do which they say is rare for humans to be able to do.

This reminds me of another interesting experience with one of my dogs now passed away. This was my daughter's Pembroke corgi who often accompanied me and my long hair German Shepard- Australian Shepard mix that was the smartest dog I ever knew.

Well. I think this was after my Shepard mix had passed away and we were in the forest just the two of us and I wanted to throw a stick for her to fetch but I wanted to make sure there was no poop of anything on it so I smelled it first.

My Daughter's Corgi looked at me and asked me telepathically what I was doing and I told her and she replied as clear as day and telepathically said, "Everything has poop on it!" I knew for her that this was her because this isn't the way my mind works ever to think something like that so I knew it was her thinking this to me. Then I thought about it scientifically and realized she was right because everything in a forest would have poop on it in that animals poop, birds poop and insects poop so in a way you cannot pick up anything in the forest without something having pooped on it. Whereas I only didn't want dog poop on it if I was going to throw it for her to fetch.

A dogs primary sense is first smelling and then hearing whereas most dogs see in black and white and don't see in color so they experience the universe in a completely different way than humans do. But, we get along because they are used to being raised under the ground in a den and so our houses are just "Above ground dens" so it works for their species to be in above ground dens with us. So, houses are not weird for the species because of their ancestors growing up in dirt holes in the ground that their mothers dug for them to survive in until they were big enough to fend for themselves.

So, likely dogs first lived with men and women and children in caves which started this whole thing between Dogs and men and women and children in the beginning.

Dogs smell and hear much better than we do and saved humans lives in tribes countless times and so this is how "Dogs became man's best friends". Trees and humans are symbiotic but dogs and humans are also symbiotic in a different way.
