I’m watching you almost every day
I listen to every word you say
You hear me rustle as you walk on by
When it rains, I can keep you dry
I do not move as I’m everywhere
See a tree ~ and I’m there
Look through the leaves ~ see the space
Then notice the smile upon my face
I will always smile when you look for me
For I’m the Spirit of the Tree
Have you ever looked at a pattern and seen faces appear within the design? I see faces between the leaves when I look closely at trees; there are a lot of faces in that picture above. One is clearly visible in the top left-hand corner, within the red leaves. Another figure is in the bright green foliage halfway down the right-hand side, with a (I hope he doesn’t mind me saying) a rather large nose…and there is another face directly above him, looking at us. And another comes into view in the same area.
Different faces, but they all belong to the Spirit of the Tree.
A lot of trees have been removed in town today to make way for some flood defences. Although the flood defences are ‘apparently’ needed (I’ve never actually seen a flood there, but they could be defences for further up or down stream I suppose), I’m not entirely certain the chopping down of healthy trees along the riverbank is absolutely necessary, especially as they had just started to develop their Autumnal look.
But hey… Such is progress in an ever changing world?
