Lesson 1 Communicate with the Plant Kingdom: SLOW DOWN
To understand messages from trees requires extreme patience. These ancient life forms don’t measure time like we do. Trees can live through several generations of human lifetimes. The great redwoods in the Pacific Northwest grew up with the dinosaurs. Gingko, magnolias, papaws, and honey locust knew the mastodons and giant ground sloths.
The faster a tree grows, the shorter its life, so let it take its time. When a tree is as tall as a human, it is as consciously aware as a teenager. Think about that before you trim or take down a tree. Each tree is as individual and different as humans are.
