When The Trees Spoke

Impressions I Received After Inquiring with The Trees

Margaretille, NY

October 1st, 2020

Prior to one of my Cultivating Cognitive Agility Introductory classes on Tree Communication for Foreverwild Catskills in Margaretville, New York, I was called to inquire with the Trees, what might they like people to know about them that I could relay for them for this class, which was on the following day.

Now, before I continue I’d like to first make note about my so-called self human grandeur of being inspired to inquire with them. I have come to realize that this inspiration was not coming from me but rather I was being called by them, the Trees, to feel to inquire with them for the next day. Again, it was not me being called to reach out to them. They were calling out to me to inquire with them.

Anyway, so I am on my way home and I was ‘feeling into’ the in-between spaces as I drove up Margaretville Mountain and felt them (the Trees) reach out to me for this class. As I drove past them driving home, I asked them what they might like the next days participants to know. I sincerely wanted to share their view as to why many of us don’t “hear” them speak to us so easily or so clearly. Below are the impressions that came through, so much so that I had to stop driving, pull over and write down their detailed voices.

They said …….

"If you don't ask me a question, why would I talk to you, especially if I don't know you, right.

But if I wanted something from you then I would talk to you but what if you don't understand me or what if I talk too low or what if I wait too long and you’re gone because I don't move as fast as you.

And what if for centuries I've been around and I've watched your people be around me ignore me… for centuries … why would I talk to you… right.

Because for centuries we've been completely ignored… by you (people)… completely, even when I tried talking to you and made noises, and groans, and creeks, or grew closer to you.... I was still ignored so there's no real reason for me to even try today to communicate with you, because you don't listen, you just do what you want and cut me and my families down at your whim without giving an inkling of thought to my life… at all.

So, we're slow to talk to you."

I promised them I’d share this at every cultivating class, and that I was terribly sorry for our inadequacy and that I’m committed to speaking for them in this or any other way till I’m done with this life.

And so till this day I speak their words at the every Cultivating lecture, workshop and training and beyond…
