Trees are Like People: Essay

 

Trees are Like People

Like a single tree carries the memories of rains and winds, and people who planted it. They are now in the far past, perhaps centuries back. The time is only registered in the tree’s memory and the rings of the wood inside the tree. These memories keep so needed to grow rains and stormy winds but also memories of sunny days of springs and summers, memories of bad and good, most of the time the memories of good and pleasant times. Good memories have positive vibes and smiles. They are pinned to the memory and cannot be thinned.

Birds know and they do not slow. They come and go – mate, nest, teach them to sing and fly. When time comes, they fly away. Now, the tree is empty-nested.

Somehow, trees attract people with similar souls. People with old souls like old trees. These people do not need to spend a lifetime translating someone’s old soul. People are like trees, and trees are like people.

Today is a new moon, a new start. The new start begins in the far away sky. Summer of 2005 is going into the past. I think when we listen to our mind and listen to our heart, both will guide us by the beautiful soul that we cannot see. It is only could be reached by feelings. I am not sure that only humans and animals have feelings. I think trees have feelings too. When you take time to look at the same tree, you can see it in the branches, you can see it in the roots.

What about love? Amid chaos and growth, love blooms defiantly. The expression ‘love blooms’ comes from the flora, flowers, blooming trees. When the right time comes, when the right person is your soulmate, love finds you.  Love and joy associated with love does not come to use. We must look far and near, more often next to you and choose it, to find it…in ourselves. How to know it that it was a joyful day, my way, oyh way, my way, the guts will say.

People are like trees and carry memories that are pinned and never will be thinned. Also, trees are like people.
