I love the energy you feel from trees and yes I am a tree hugger .
My favorite place is in the middle of a wood surrounded by all these tall ,bushy living things .They feel like lots of wise old men and women just waiting to share their peace ,strength,patience and energy.
So here is my thread dedicated to trees
The best remedy for those who are afraid, lonely or unhappy is to go outside, somewhere where they can be quiet, alone with the heavens and nature.
~ Anne Frank
So this is my time with trees and nature ,
Words are like seeds. When you write them out, they grow into your dreams and spark the imagination of others.

“There is new life in the soil for every woman.
There is healing in the trees for tired minds and for our overburdened spirits, there is strength in the hills, if we only lift up our eyes. Remember that nature is your great restorer.”

Her love spread out like branches,
Reaching upwards to the sky,
Giving shade throughout the summer,
And a place to keep you dry,
So all the city’s children,
Built a treehouse round her spine,
And though they never asked her,
She still told them she was fine,
They etched their names with knives,
Along the edges of her bone,
A handwritten reminder,
She was always theirs to own,
Despite the pain they brought her,
Upwards she still grew,
Thinking if you love someone,
It’s the least that you can do,
But as the kids turned into adults,
And the winter air grew cold,
She wept sap from their carvings,
For they weighed too much to hold,
And the men all thought her branches,
Were to help their fires start,
And without a single “thank you”,
Put a chainsaw through her heart.

Take me to your roots, Beloved
Show me who you are
What life made of your heart
Is it still intact?
What burdens still you carry
Blindfolded in the day
As it is the darkest night...
Come and rest at my feet
Allow me to pour my love
On your hardened skin
Break free...
Shake the pain away
Drink from my palms
Swallow the cup of my dreams...
Nourish your Soul...
Become whole
Come back home
Journey to your deepest roots
Your Self is waiting
To celebrate your return
Come home, Beloved...
You wandered around
For far too long
My womb is waiting
Make it your home
Until I re-birth you
To be
What you were meant to be...
Come home, Beloved...
Come back to your roots...

One day when you wake up,
you will find that you've become a forest.
You've grown roots and found strength in them
that no one thought you had.
You have become stronger and more beautiful,
full of life giving qualities.
You have learned to take all the negativity around you,
and turn it into oxygen for easy breathing.
A host of wild creatures live inside you,
and you call them stories.
A variety of beautiful birds nest inside your mind,
and you call them memories.
You have become an incredible self sustaining thing of epic proportions.
And you should be so proud of yourself,
of how far you have come from the seeds of who you used to be.
~ Nikita Gill ~
FOREST THERAPY ~
When you seek respite from
a noisy mind, a noisy world
or your noisy human existence,
go to the forest.
She will welcome you in,
ask for nothing, and,
never ask you
to leave.
She will embrace you,
offer you sanctuary,
and shield you from the storms
taunting you to run.
She will listen, comfort you,
calm your tired soul and
if you listen, she’ll offer resolution
to whatever ails you.
She will not judge
or ask why you came.
She will accept you,
no matter how messy you are.
She will allow you to
unpack your bags,
rest, rejuvenate
and help you heal.
Then, she will allow you
to sit quietly
and just
breathe.
And sometimes,
that’s all we need.
Toni O’Keeffe
Let the familiar world around you fall away, as you find yourself on a pathway. It winds and twists off into the distance and you soon find yourself heading in the direction of an area of woodland. With each step that you take on the pebbled path, you feel yourself going deeper and deeper into meditation. Once you reach the woods you can hear the noise of the leaves as the breeze moves through them.....it's as if the trees are talking to you. Listen to the sounds of the birds and the smell of the fresh woodland air. You enter the woods and after walking a short distance you come across a huge old tree. It's as though it has been waiting just for you. You walk slowly towards it, noticing all the details. Check out the colour and texture of the bark, the colour and shape of the leaves and as you step back, be aware of its height and girth. Reach out and place both hands on the tree......touch the bark and notice how it feels under your fingertips. Talk with the spirit of the tree and ask permission to connect with its energy. As you stand, tuning into the powerful energy of this ancient being, ask if it has a message for you today. Pay attention and wait for it to respond. Be aware of the energy of the tree moving through your body and energy centres. Feel and visualise the energy flowing through your hands and moving down to your feet and into the ground below. When done, thank the tree for the healing energy and messages received and gently remove your hands. Start now to walk slowly back down the pebbled path, leaving the woods and ancient tree behind. Know that you can come back to the woods again, anytime that you feel drawn to connect with the energy of the trees. As you reach the familiar entrance to your own garden, step back into the reality of the physical world and gently and slowly come back to full consciousness.
There is something deeply enchanting about entering a forest,
as if, with each step beneath the canopy,
we are leaving behind the noise of the world
and stepping into a realm woven from stillness and wonder.
The air changes, softer, richer;
the light dances through the leaves like quiet magic.
It feels less like walking into nature,
and more like being welcomed into an ancient, peaceful world,
that has always been waiting for us,
hidden quietly between the folds of the everyday.
Trees become silent guardians,
time seems to slow,
and for a moment,
we remember how to simply be,
present, aware,
and alive in the green embrace of the earth.

The Forest-Grandmother and the Listening Child
Long before paths were cut through the woods, before trees learned the sound of axes, there lived a woman the forest called Grandmother.
No one knew her true age. Moss remembered her footsteps. Stones warmed themselves by her presence. Her hair carried feathers and twigs, gifts placed there by birds who trusted her silence. Lines curled across her skin like roots and wind-etched runes, not carved by hand, but written by time itself.
She did not rule the forest.
She listened to it.
One morning, when mist still clung low and the sun had not yet chosen a direction, a child came into the woods alone. The child was small, fur-cloaked, bright-eyed, carrying more questions than fear. The forest parted—not to welcome, but to watch.
The child climbed a stone worn smooth by centuries of waiting and looked up.
There she was.
So vast she seemed carved from bark and breath, yet gentle as falling leaves. Her face bent close, eyes full of patience older than names.
“Are you the forest?” the child asked.
The woman smiled, and the smile carried sorrow, humor, and kindness all at once.
“No,” she said softly. “I am the one who remembers when the forest was young.”
The child frowned. “Do you know my name?”
“I know who you are becoming,” the Grandmother replied. “That is more important.”
She leaned closer, close enough that the child could hear the sound beneath her voice—wind through pine needles, water moving under ice, the heartbeat of roots.
“Listen,” she whispered.
And the child did.
In that listening, the child learned things that could not be taught aloud:
• that grief moves through the land like winter, but always loosens its grip
• that strength does not roar; it endures
• that magic is not something you take, but something you are trusted with
When the sun finally rose, the forest-grandmother straightened. Already she was fading into bark and shadow.
“Will I see you again?” the child asked.
The woman touched her forehead to the child’s brow.
“When you protect what is fragile,” she said,
“When you choose kindness over power,”
“When you listen instead of shouting—”
Her form dissolved into mist and birdsong.
“—I will be there.”
The child returned to the world beyond the trees, carrying no proof, no talisman—only a deep, quiet knowing.
And to this day, when a child pauses in the woods for no reason at all, or feels watched over without fear, the forest smiles.
Because the Grandmother is still listening.
And she always remembers who listens back. 
This is a story not Folklore not Mythology I
