Brenda Knight for asking me to write this book
Contents
Several years ago, I accidentally realized that nature speaks to us when I discovered the healing properties of colored gems after several of my colored stones began telling me what they would do, how they work, and so forth. Sometime later, I distinctly recall trees speaking to me in a similar manner. The messages were similar to stones, and the trees wanted me to know that they too can do different things energetically. Because I immersed myself in the study of gems and writing about them, I never got around to following up on the messages the trees wanted to send. Im pleased to report that Kac Young heard the call, and Im so happy she answered!
Trees are magical helpers who cleanse our environment, but theyre also trusted advisors, filled with the wisdom of the ages if we care to listen.
Im sure we can all agree that our planet is in dire need of healing at this time. Our environment is of paramount concern these days. Activists speak of the dire need for us to focus on pressing issues such as air quality, assisting endangered species, and protecting landall of which are keenly important for humanity to survive. But what about our trees? Kac Youngs brilliant deep dive into the wonders of our other earthly cohabitants helps us remember that our trees should be a huge part of the conservation con versation.
Not only must we shift our current habits and consciousness to care for the air quality and environment itself to sustain life here, but the other beings also who coinhabit our earth urgently need our attentive love and care.
We must love and appreciate each other like never before. While we usually consider human beings at the top of our list of who we need to cherish, many also include animals, which is a good thing. Still, its important to pause to consider the trees by acknowledging that they too are sentient beings who share our earth and our space and deserve our respect like people an d animals.
Kacs personification of our fellow inhabitants of Earth reminds us to consider these treasured kindred spirits by understanding their historical backgrounds. Just as we should do with our fellow human beings, after learning the rich history of trees, we all emerge with deeper understanding and commitment to do what it takes to preserve and protect those who have lived on this planet far longer than we have so they may be here in force for future ge nerations.
