The Language of Trees
Can you hear it?
The man went down the walking trail then he cut onto the path that went through the forest.
Everything changed.
The streets were fake. They kept everything going in a linear fashion. They hid everything that was not on the socially approved map.
As he walked through the trees, the trees spoke the truth. The birds sang of a real world. The wind flushed him of social convention. The sound of the insects broke him out of the chains of human activity. His thoughts disintegrated. His feelings came alive.
There were new lyrics, a new rhythm, a new harmony. Nature provided a whole new song. His foot steps were suddenly in step with that different music.
Turning onto that path which led through the forest was like turning the dial to the radio station his mind was stuck on. The whole vibe changed.
His daily walks changed and always veered off onto that path through the forest. It was not long before his life changed, too.
The music changed. His life changed. His outlook changed. His vibrations changed.
He continued to walk through that little stretch of forest every day. But soon he never walked through it without saying, Thank you!
