It was said to me, "But pretty soon, all you will have is trees, and no grass." To which I responded, rather perplexed, "But that is the idea." It was at that point that I realized that others might not perceive these trees quite as I do.
To me they are Source Energy calling me, evidencing the absolute invincible Well-Being and Wonder that life eternally continues to become. They express freedom, empowerment, abundance, and the incredible power and love of Source. They tell me again and again that I am surrounded by miracles. They affirm the vitality and creativity of complete abandon, that appears to some to be, I guess, uncontrollable, and undesirable "chaos."
These trees won't be influenced or controlled by anything else. They insist on being and growing at a fantastic rate. They insist on creating as their branches proliferate and twist and turn however is necessary to follow the call of life. They grow in cracks between the cement and the house, along edges of the yard, in holes where fence posts are stuck in cement. They continue, literally, to take my breath away.
I just saw one growing on my front porch, underneath the front door, between the porch and the wall, in dead center under the door frame.In Fall, they become bare, appearing almost dead, and the next Spring, start to grow again as much as six feet beyond in length for each branch, and each multiple trunk, becoming far beyond what they had become the previous year forming an amazing, living art of shapes, forms, light, lines, color, and the unexpected.
How could I not be in awe of these amazing, living, powerful expressions of life at its best. They truly are the Tree of Heaven.
