Have you ever felt a presence so big, that it stops you in the tracks, spontaneously? I had the honor of meeting an amazing Mama Oak Tree the other day. I was walking and talking along a trail with my dear ally, Carolyn Marie. Among this trail were wildflowers and a babbling creek. We were enjoying each other, nature and the conversation that awakened as we walked. As the road started to turn towards the canyon, to our surprise and wonder, we came across a Big, Giant, Mama Oak Tree. As we came into this trees presence, we both stopped. As we stood for a few moments admiring the beauty of this amazing being, Carolyn asked if I wouldn’t mind staying here for a while and spending some time with the tree. “Yes, of course, I would love to, I said.”
As we first felt her presence, Carolyn shared that she could feel that this mama Oak is the guardian of this particular forest and even beyond the expression of this forest. We could feel how she has the capacity to feel and communicate with trees across the planet, spontaneously. She felt like a universal and a God being, completely. We were both in awe. We felt her to be about a 600-800 year old tree. As we grew in her presence, we both chose to sit with the tree for a while in our own space to relate with the tree.
After some time, I got up from the spot I was sitting, which was below the trunk of the tree and made my way towards Carolyn where she was sitting, among many wildflowers, blending in with the landscape. As I started to walk towards her, Carolyn could see all the fairey’s gathering around me. I could feel their presence too, for I felt like I was glowing with little beings all around me. In that moment, I made my way closer to the trunk of the tree, where I sat facing my dear friend. From the moment I sat down, I could feel my body open completly, while feeling an expansiveness so beyond, time and space. I could also feel the Mama Oak, as a partner. We were all connecting as One.
Carolyn and I began to engage in the wisdom we were experiencing by being in the trees presence. We started to share about relationships and that when we share from a unitive and loving space, that everyone and everything has the opportunity to grow and heal, spontaneously. We spoke of the unlimited nature of how we choose to be in relationship with humanity, nature and the universe. In the sharing, we could feel our true nature as the words flowed freely and with clarity from our whole beings. We could feel an energetic shift that was opening naturally, while feeling in partnership with the Mama Tree. We were all opening together and it felt wonderful.
I shared with Carolyn that isn’t it wonderful that when we choose to relate as what we are only, then we become simply an expression of that, nothing else. If we choose for our bodies to be an expression of health and vitality, it is our choice. As we truly accept this as what we are completely, in detail, we are free and beyond free. This is our choice.
