For a moment, contemplating the centuries-long campaign of oppression and internment in this country discouraged me immensely. Then I realized that something is different this time: most people do not support these internment camps. 48% oppose, 33% support. That's new.

Japanese internment camps, anyone? How about camps of enslaved persons?

History repeats until we, the people, choose another path.

Spirit Entry ~ This is part of the woods that Carl Sandburg dearly loved at his home, Connemara in North Carolina. I'm sure his spirit walks these paths throughout the 4 seasons.

At the spiritual level, trees help us become more aware of our connections with something larger than ourselves.Trees call us to a state of mindfulness where we become better in tune with and more compassionate toward our surroundings.
#painter #art #surrealism #nature
Excerpts of People and Trees: An Intimate Connection By Ruth Wilson Using the research of Dr. Nalini Nadkarni, discussed in her book “Between Earth and Sky: Our Intimate Connections to Trees” — of how trees meet our needs at every level of human experience https://www.americanforests.org/article/people-and-trees-an-intimate-connection/ TREES AND OUR SPIRITUAL SELVES At the spiritual level, trees help us become more aware of our connections with something larger than ourselves. In mythology, trees are sometimes portrayed as the abodes of nature spirits. We even have a special word — dendrolatry — in reference to the way we worship trees. Dr. Nadkarni suggests that trees call us to a state of “mindfulness,” where we become better in tune with and more compassionate toward our surroundings. Unless moved by humans, trees remain rooted in one place throughout their lifetime, preserving their native character. They stand tall, solid, and strong, rooted in the earth. They become an integral part of the place where they live, a contributing member of the biotic community. Perhaps there is no better example for us, as humans, to emulate. Listening to the trees, we can learn not only about a particular geographic place but also about our place in the larger community of life.

Lately it feels like we’ve all been living on the edge —
here’s a gentler way to begin the weekend:
music rising as sunlight falls,
the day dissolving into sea,
as melody takes its place. 🎻🌅
