A Life of Wonder

Tree #1, originally uploaded by Lance Shields.

1. Do you know how to talk to trees?
2. No.
1. First, you acknowledge them, show them you are listening.
(pause) Then you touch their bark, and they will listen to you.
2. Do you talk with trees often?
1. Yes, they are my children.

I wonder if the tree see him, as he sees them.
I wonder whether they need to physically touch one another for energy to change form.
And I wonder why I so easily and fully accept that this man can talk with trees.
Of course he can, I thought, of course.
