With any skill practiced, any undertaking repeated, time and time again, things happen. Efficiencies of scale and attunement take time. As we dial in, we become adept at spinning the wheel. Frequencies beyond our detection are all around us, vibrating like a pond's surface in a hailstorm. There are chords, perhaps the Lost Chord, that the Moody Blues sang of, that tie the frequencies together like an ethereal tapestry.
in the day, people were said to have good auras, or on occasion they might be a bummer, a downer or just give you bad vibes. Apart from the flakiness, what was spoken of was not the person, but their energy. Those who were able to stay in what we now call flow, or inspired, again there are many words for it. I first learned "In The Moment", true to one's own heart, trance, trippin', in the groove, spinnin' the wheel. At the moment that we merge with a greater whole, we tap into the very energetic world around us, leaving time, space and duality in the dust. When we are channeling "God/ess's" true purpose, nothing else matters. the swirling potential that flows over us at every moment is given physicality and purpose through us. that is the state that I slip into when I'm planting trees.
If you can find some seeds and plant them, you might know the breadth of my desire to do it again and again. The relationship between our selves and the eternal may seem tenuous at times, especially when we walk through the other dimensions of supermarkets and subway stops. Frequent the local tap or a religious institution or school and you will fine an atmosphere of anti-nature, Servoglobe, or some other altered state. when the raw wind blows through your hair and deposits ions all over your skin, it is hard to deny that we are one with nature. Practicing be-ing a part of nature rather than apart from it is the first step to understanding the sanctity of nature, the amazing abundance of it, the sheer miraculousness of our very being, here at this place and time.
As we practice our heart's own most treasured nature, we often find ourselves taking the time to adopt a critter or a plant, perhaps "just a fish", in a bowl. my thing is trees and when you sleep at night, or in your walking hours, know that I will be planting more real soon. at the tops of hills, in little glens, across vast expanses and in hollows the size of your neighborhood, I will be out, every chance I get, planting trees and tree seeds. Think of me as your personal landscaper of Mother Earth. I know dozens of trees like family and realize their habits and limitations. i know the conditions that make them thrive and always strive to place them in places that are appropriate for their long term success. In just a few hours each day, massive change can occur, not just in our own lives but across the planet. i will continue to express my love for and the voice of the trees through my commitment to them and to you to continue planting trees for the rest of my life. If I ever become too tired to plant a seed, please, let me go, the Earth needs me more than I need me.

After doing as bit of data mining in the statistics for my other two blogs, ECO-Tours of Wisconsin, here at Blogger.com and Permaculture, ECO-Ethics, Trees at Wordpress, I find that this blog is getting three times as many views per post. Often times there are themes carried through all three, but ECO-Tours focuses on our not-for-profit and the reforestation work we are doing. I tend to use this as the forum for discussing the continuation of the themes that motivated my Bicycle Ride Around The Great Lakes in 1987. My point, twenty-five years ago has remained the same. We can all live much higher standards of living while creating far less negative ecological impact and contamination.
While the permaculture blog is more focused on what I call abundance management (aka sustainability). The trans-formative power of living by the seasons in and on our two city lots, urban farming, management for people, profit and the planet, etc. Of the over four hundred posts, most people reading my writing find it here. Please share the other sites widely. I have at least as much to say about "spinnin' the wheel" as we call it. Making change occur is not only our destiny, but it is our responsibility to leave no trace but for benevolent waves, reaching out, as native people say, to the next seven generations.
