I'm very sorry about your loss, but my heart stirs with more than just that. I'm touched by the peace you were able to find within the raw communication with the spirit of the elder tree

Aw, thanks for the compliment! Ben's spirit really shone in these photos, I think.

I'm sorry about the trees, but the three of you are quite gorgeous!

I was going to say something like that. It's so beautiful to see new and worn-in love together in the same photo. I like it very much :o)

[flyingshaman]

mmm yes!

At my parents' house, there was a grove of trees at the end of the park that I would visit everyday. I could feel their spirit and they had names. They became diseased and had to be cut down. Though I understood it had to be done to save the other trees, it still hurt so much. But they have come to me in spirit since. ^.^

I can feel your pain with the elder tree but remember the tree is still there, its roots are still strong and will always be there.

ohhhhh wow. Wow ♥ thank you for sharing this. I can feel the pain and glory of it. *hugs*

I am so sorry. I know how important trees can be. I'm glad that the tree was able to comfort you =). This makes me think I should go and visit my tree...

Those mounds are very interesting. Do you have a link to the history behind them?

[belenen]

thank you for understanding ♥

yep, here ya go: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Etowah_Indian_Mounds

I'm sorry if this seems silly as we really don't even know each other, but your words about that tree sent me to tears. I can only imagine how you were feeling. I have an enormous pine tree right in front of my house that my parents want to cut down (pine cones are everywhere and bothersome at times due to it) and when they first mentioned it tears flooded my eyes. It's been there forever. Ever since we moved into the house and years and years before that. And I love it so much. It gives me so much peace and so many nostalgic, joyful memories. They've let the subject go for now, but I can't bear to think of them actually going through with it

Thank you for the compliment!

[belenen]

ohhh, I feel you so much about the pine tree ♥ (and I am really glad to have added you!)

awww :-( We always had a creek nearby when I was a kid, and it was always really important to me. I can imagine how that would feel *hugs*

aww, thank you so much! ;-)
