Home/Tree-lationship: Breathe~Love~Transform
Every time you behold a Tree, you are beholding an amazing alchemy of your exhale, humble soil, potent sunshine and precious water...appreciate their exhale in your next breath.
Alive with Life, even when dead.
Beauty, utility, generosity, strength, vulnerability....mirrors.
Trees are our stewards....let's be theirs.


May all I say and all I think
be in harmony with thee,
God within me, God beyond me,
maker of the trees.
In me be the windswept truth of the shorepine,
Fragrance of balsam and spruce,
the grace of hemlock.
In me the truth of douglas fir, straight and tall,
strong-trunked land hero of fireproof bark.
Sheltering tree of life, cedar’s truth be mine,
cypress truth, juniper aroma, strength of yew.
May all I say and all I think
be in harmony with thee,
God within me, God beyond me,
maker of the trees.
In me be the truth of streamlover willow
soul-giving alder
hazel of sweet nuts, wisdom-branching oak.
In me the joy of crabapple, greatmaple, vinemaple,
cleansing cascara and lovely dogwood.
And the gracious truth of copper branched arbutus,
bright with color and fragrance,
be with me on the Earth.
May all I say and all I think
be in harmony with thee,
God within me, God beyond me,
maker of the trees.

An exceptional compendium of useful Tree information.
The beauty of the trees,
the softness of the air,
the fragrance of the grass,
speaks to me.
The summit of the mountain,
the thunder of the sky,
the rhythm of the sea,
speaks to me.
The faintness of the stars,
the freshness of the morning,
the dewdrop on the flower,
speaks to me.
The strength of fire,
the taste of salmon,
the trail of the sun,
and the life that never goes away,
speaks to me.
And my heart soars.
~Chief Dan George

In Alan Hovhaness’ work Spirit of the Trees, one can hear the wind moving through the trees, deep earthy fragrances wafting about, winged creatures weaving their ways through the woods, water curling about river stones.
