The other day I spent a while wandering among this group of trees; they are close, yet far….  When I approach them on the pathway, they look close.  But when I am within them and look out, everything I left behind looks so very far away….And when I walk among them I feel close to Nature, grounded and at peace. 

It is a reminder that in ancient times we lived within the majestic forest, submerged in the murmur of its leaves and branches.  The moist and mossy forest floor was hidden from Heaven’s eye by a canopy of innumerable treetops. 

This constant majestic presence has been absorbed deep within us and our awareness of this remains to this day…..
