THE RESONANCE OF TREES

THE RESONANCE OF TREES

Remembering my Inner Shaman

The resonance of trees
sensual feeling of the breeze
a time frame slower than
my senses can perceive
 
There’s this unseen hum, now
near my inner ear
something I can hardly sense,
it seems so distinct and clear
 
All around these miracles
beyond the limits of my senses
as I try to know the sense of it
within my own so small lens -
 
but this resonance of trees today
inviting me to share,
to take my animated presence
where the trees cannot dare
 
To feel within this resonance
Mystery’s song upon my ear.
 
So, I set the metronome
so very very low.
this resonance and
so slow drum beat,
so much lower
than I know
 
Is it real?
Ask the trees
if this is so -
 
This resonance of trees
as I walk now with the breeze
in this time frame slower than
my senses can perceive

    1. CROSSING A BRIDGE OF CONSCIOUS AWARENESS

      Some of us know we are crossing the bridge from an essentially patriarchical paradigm and its blind spots and excesses to integrating an essentially matriarchal and balanced paradigm. We are becoming more open to the expanded senses and consciousness of nature and its sacredness. In this dawning awareness, the emotional body is the bridge between the physical and the mental.

      That’s what this experience and then poem illuminated for me in real time.

  1. Exactly the tree sense resonance portal that I felt yesterday with a hawthorn kin as I stood on my roof. What a blessing to sense the expansion in your words today. ‍♀️

  2. A wonderful poem Richard, thank you. I’m helping arrange an event locally about trees as part of National Tree Week in November. Would I be able to read out your poem at the event please?
    Thanks

  3. Of course, I’d feel honored for you to share the poem. To me, our global culture staggers ahead mindlessly without a depth understanding of spirit. I believe the spirit awareness of the trees may save our human community on the brink of extinction.
