Dear friend,
Look at the Earth for your good deed today. Even if you have already performed one good deed today, there is always room and need for more kindness, and we can never get too much good karma! I have a new goal, friend, and that is to enhance the natural spaces around me. I’m sharing this not only with the intention to inspire someone to do the same but also as a reminder to self and writing this works as intention setting.
Whenever I have to be somewhere not for fun, such as for work, school, business, at the doctor, legal matters, etc. on any break I have, I connect with nature. I don’t do this as intentionally on my days off when I’m hanging out with my family in the safety of my house. As I reflect on this, this new me (I was just renewed) is able and happy to intentionally connect with nature at home.
This post is not about gardening. Instead, I want to talk about already established natural spaces that exist all around us, such as parks and public gardens, etc.
There is a tiny park behind my work. It’s a sweet little park with lots of flowers, about 15 trees, and green grass, which is uncommon in the AZ desert where I live, so it’s worth mentioning.
This is a new dream job I manifested in divine timing, and it’ll be 3 months on 8/10 (yes, during the powerful 888 Lions gate portal, did I mention divine timing?) One of the most amazing things about this job is the park! It’s the little things, friend! Meet the friend I made at this park, my tree friend.
I have been hanging out with trees for a long time. Even before I had my spiritual awakening, I was speaking for the trees. I was always a tree hugger, but for the last three years, I have been practicing connecting with the spirit of the trees. I had never heard one (it’s a practice), but it’s the most natural, relaxing, easy thing I know how to do.
An easy way to connect to nature is to touch a tree. If there are people around and hugging the tree 😆 🤣 😂 literally feels weird, sit against the tree, lean against it, and/or be in its shade. To level up the practice, use your mind. Acknowledge the trees. Once this is not weird, acknowledge the spirit of the trees. You might be surprised to feel a deep relaxation. It’s easier than meditation, but you get a similar feeling.
Eventually, you might feel that you have made friends with a tree. This is how I feel now to this beautiful tree I’m sitting in front of. Is making friends with a tree just plain weird for you? What is a friend? Friends spend time together. Friends hold space for each other. Friends support each other. Friends make each other feel good. Friends do good things for each other. A tree can, in fact, do all those things. Just like with an animal such as a human being or a dog, it might take time, or you might just resonate with the spirit of this stranger with the potential to become a friend. Weird is attractive. Don’t fear being a weirdo!
I have been following new witch YouTubers. No, I’m not a witch, but I like to watch them. And there’s a new witch I followed, The Witch of Wonderlust. Interestingly enough, she talked about talking to trees on a podcast, which was interesting to me, and I followed her. Below, I have linked one of her videos, which I syncronistically found while writing this post. In this video, she talked about the same exact thing I’m doing now.
In this video, she talked about the exact thing I’ve been doing, something I’ve intended to do for a long time. Picking up trash while out in nature. I took her advice from the first video I watched her in when she talked about talking to the tree spirits. I talked to this tree friend of mine, and I started getting funny synchronicities, which I took as the tree responding.
I felt that the tree was asking me to pick up a bunch of trash left around it, and I did. Now, every day I walk around, I pick up a piece of trash at least. I will start carrying around trash bags like Wonderlust does in thar video. And, since this is my journal, I’ll speak about this again.
Thank you for reading, and if you feel called, pick up the next piece of trash you find in nature.
Thank you and blessings to you
