More Wisdom from a Tree


A couple of days ago I connected with my tree friend, Henrietta.  I asked her what she would like to share with me.  The wisdom that she presents is so profound.  This is her beautiful story ...

HENRIETTA

Once upon a time there was a young lady who loved with all her heart.  She was alive in the romance of her imagination.  Everything in the world was romantic to her.  She dreamed of her handsome prince.  And you know, he came along.  He showed up because she dreamed of him.  She created him as her experience.  She had a pure and loving heart and it called to her true love.  She was radiant after finding him.  Her face was so joyous that others were forced into a smile at the appearance of her.  The love that flowed from her radiated out like sunshine.  As she walked down the street she lifted the world.  Each person who passed her by was touched by love.  She was changing the world.  Every word she spoke carried tones of kindness.  Each breath she took was filled with gratitude.  She lived in a world that many not dare dream of and that is why she was different.  She dared to dream.  She believed it was not only possible but that it would happen for her.  She was the enigma. 

She and her prince lived a long and happy life together.  They had children and pets and gardens.  They cared for each other and they cared for the land.  They cared about their grandchildren and their neighbours.  They did not buy into the fear that the media tried to send them.  They did not buy into the lack that was apparent in their world.  They focused on their love and their abundance of joy.  They lived their entire lives this way.  When they died, so many came to pay their respects that they had to have two ceremonies.  One ceremony was of the people who knew them dearly.  It was those who had the privilege of seeing their lives intimately and knew how they lived.  They did not mourn, they celebrated.  For they knew that they were not gone, they had just moved to another experience.  They knew that they could still connect in their hearts.  Instead of feeling a loss, they celebrated the lives of this couple and all that they showed the world with their love.

The other group was mourning.  For you see, the other group did not live close enough to the loving couple to fully understand the magic that they had.  They only saw them passing on the street or they served them in one of the stores.  They saw them out and about and knew of them but did not know them intimately.  This group mourned.  They mourned because they believed that the world had lost something.  They did not see that the lovely couple was an aspect of who they are.  They did not see the same qualities within themselves and therefore they thought that the world had lost something.  The first group did not mourn.  They knew the world had gained something and that the couple had also shown them something about themselves.  The mourning group did not see this.  They saw only loss.  They did not have the experience of finding that love within and so they mourned.

That is my gift to you this day Rashana.
