SHARE YOUR TREE STORY! AWAKENING THE STORIES WITHIN US. What is your tree story. We all have at one time in our life experienced a tree in one way or another. We climbed trees with our friends seeing who could climb the highest, built a tree house that was our refuge, walked through a cool dense forest in the springtime, plucked a plump red apple off a tree, speculated on what kind of a tree we would be. On a hot summer evening, did you run to a tree for safe base when you played tag? I am the tree.

SHARE YOUR TREE STORY! AWAKENING THE STORIES WITHIN US. There is a stirring in the treetops of the mulberry. As though the august earth wished for rain. Under the great oak is a bench where I sit. It faces lime cliffs and the remains of a village called. Le vieux castillon abandoned centuries ago. Still as a tree stump i sit just looking. The garden cat’s tail weaves through grasses. She is a master at walking gracefully. Once we saw two foxes feasting on fallen plums. Leave a Reply Cancel reply. I was d...

SHARE YOUR TREE STORY! AWAKENING THE STORIES WITHIN US. Dark Green Anger Arising. Greetings, Thanks for all your good work on this project! This isn’t exactly a story, it’s just a poem that I wrote inspired by an experience with a tree. I’m Marilyn’s youngest brother and sometimes I wish I was an artist too. Here is my offering:. DARK GREEN ANGER ARISING. Dark green anger arising. The storm rages within and without. The tree knows your anguish. And shakes sympathetically until. 8220;you can hear me”.

SHARE YOUR TREE STORY! AWAKENING THE STORIES WITHIN US. When folks come together around a campfire…there should be time to just sit quietly and listen. For the songs of the fire are sacred! Those songs come from the spirits in the wood. They sing about the sun blinking on and off… they sing about the wind and the rain…they sing about the seasons. Their songs are part of the sacred songs of the Earth…given to us as a reminder of days gone by. So when you are sitting around the campfire with friends…...

Childhood Memories | Treewhispers
https://treewhispers.com/tree-stories-2/childhood-memories
SHARE YOUR TREE STORY! AWAKENING THE STORIES WITHIN US. One of my earliest childhood memories is when I was three. My mother pushed my crib into the upstairs bedroom window of our old farm house and I lay there looking up into the branches overhead swaying in the wind. These were tall elms-bare branches in the wintry blue sky. I felt as though I floated with them in deep blue. Contributed by Kirsten Christianson, Algoma, WI. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

SHARE YOUR TREE STORY! AWAKENING THE STORIES WITHIN US. In the midst of spring’s. Green and glorious abundances. Trees whisper of the coming of winter. Their voices – sweet and high. Subtle murmurs in the wind. Recalling long forgotten landscapes. Remembering footprints and laughing children. Recording the unspoken promises of lovers. Life’s ebb and flow…here. Our Elders – earthbound only. By the circles of our mutual existence. These breath-taking, life-giving magicians. Music and fire…. For my Sister M...

SHARE YOUR TREE STORY! AWAKENING THE STORIES WITHIN US. It’s something about the trees. As an artist, I fell in love with letters,. Handwriting, type, calligraphy. I was fascinated with the concept of visible language and I fell in love with the act of making it and the materials it required. I fell in love with handmade paper. It’s not just about the paper. It was there, in the quiet mind space, where with a sideways glance into the woods I first saw Treewhispers and it was there many weeks later the na...
