Cyberia - The City of Ladies

Gift

Posted in Salon de Pizan by peacebird on September 8th, 2006

Sit by the tree and lean in its branches
Let thoughts settle and quiet, hush and still
As day becomes night and night becomes day
All that is past is whispered away

It folds you within
Listen to its story
The story is yours, your path revealed.
‘I will be your guide
All that you need you will find inside’
‘Which way to go?’
‘Let me show you the way
All that you need you will find here today.’

So be still and listen
By the listening tree
From roots in the earth
To leaves in the sky
It shows you the way
and your soul starts to fly
Know it is yours
and whatever your need
Will always be answered by the listening tree.

    I do love listening trees Lina. When I was young an old friend introduced me to a magnificent one which you will find here in the Golden Seed Grove.

    The whispering poplar
    rustling maple
    scented gums
    and the rich perfume of grapefruit blooms
    whispering trees, you made me think
    and remember, Fran
