Tree-Life

If you have a moment, I would like to invite you to join this group for Tree-Awareness.
You may not be a gardener or an active environmentalist, but I ask you to consider one thing - if it were not for Trees, Mankind could not exist.

Trees are the greatest of all living organisms that keeps the balance of our Air and Water, Earth and Light alive and healthy on this Planet, Earth.

In the beginning, the Creator gave us Life, and Love and Inspiration are unique to God's Creation. How beautiful He made Trees, for Man to Love! How inspiring they are!

Trees were the first to grow on Earth, in huge forests, BEFORE Man arrived, because the Creator knew that Trees would provide the delicate relationship between the atmosphere, the air we breathe, and the flow of water in the rainfall, streams and rivers, oceans and clouds, in perfect balance.
Trees grew tall and strong, to prevent the winds being too destructive and Trees grew roots that reached deep into the earth, to drink up the water reserves and release it into the air. Trees lifted the air as it blew against the land, to make it release its water vapour as rain drops, so that it was purified for all to drink. Trees held the earth in its roots, to prevent the winds blowing it away, and the storm rains washing it away. Trees stood high above Man, to provide shelter and shade when the Sun was too hot. Trees provided a refuge for the birds, small animals and insects to live safely.

What a wonderful service Trees provide!

But Man has forgotten this valuable work that Trees do and cuts them down too fast, burns them up too fast, and forgets to help the Trees grow young ones again.
The Indigenous peoples of the world were wise and understood that the ancient Trees held their own wisdom, to impart to the world and the young Trees. But now there are so few ancient Trees left living, the wisdom may soon be lost. We would be lost without Trees.

Bring your comments here, and pictures of Trees, and start a discussion on your own experiences of Trees, or certain issues regarding Trees.

Please don't forget us!

Thank you,
Tree-Life.

Comment by Tree-Life on September 2, 2010 at 12:16am: People suffering from depression or grief, or any form of dis-ease can benefit greatly from hugging a Tree, embracing one heart to heart - letting the Tree hold you up in an hour of need - it's strength, health-giving atmosphere, vapours, pollen, aromas, aura, will heal you - it is directly connected to the Divine Mother and Father.

Comment by Riccardo Gramegna on September 2, 2010 at 12:03am: I was looking for something about Chipko Movement to post here... there is a lot, but this is short and to the point..
http://www.treehugger.com/files/2005/07/teehugging_in_i.php

Who said TreeHugging was a modern western notion? The Chipko movement is strong evidence of something distinctly non-western and centuries old. According to a recent story in Terra Green: "In the late 1970s and the early 1980s, a fierce resistance to the rampant destruction of forests spread in northern India and came to be known as the "Chipko" movement. A widespread movement, it revolutionized forest conservation. The adherents known as ‘tree huggers’ adopted a unique strategy in recognizing trees as valuable living beings". There's an ever so charming description of the Chipko Movement here. TreeHugger strongly recommends you take an inspirational minute to read the main page. From the site: "Dhoom Singh Negi, with Bachni Devi and many village women, first saved trees by hugging them in the 'Chipko embrace'. They coined the slogan: 'What do the forests bear? soil, water and pure air'.

Take a further moment to google a bit on the term and you'll find evidence of far more distant roots, such as this quote from a web publication for children called "EduGreen": . "The original ’Chipko movement’ was started around 260 years back in the early part of the 18th century in Rajasthan by this community. A large group of them from 84 villages led by a lady called Amrita Devi laid down their lives in an effort to protect the trees from being felled on the orders of the Maharaja (King) of Jodhpur".
