The Blessing of Trees
I really love trees and the energy they give off is truly amazing. They are so strong and protecting. They help keep the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Mother Earth needs that assistance.When I was a little girl, I used to think trees sleep in the winter. And woke up in the spring.
“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,
they speak to me.
And my heart soars.”
——Chief Dan George
Our most secred scripture is the “holy book” of Nature
“It is written on the arched sky,
It looks out from every star…
It is spread out like a legible lanuage upon the
broad face of an unsleeping ocean.
It is the poetry of Nature,
It is that which uplifts the spirit within us…

The Beauty of Trees
Give me wings
Give Me Wings
Give me wings, give me wings,
let them carry me to where my eyes can see,
let me fly, oh let me fly,
so that I can really know that I am free.
When I climb the mountain, I can see so clearly,
everything is laid out far and wide;
but I live down in the valley, where it’s mighty hard to see
with the mountains looming up on every side….
Give me wings, give me wings,
let them carry me to where my eyes can see,
let me fly, oh let me fly,
so that I can really know that I am free.
When I find the answers, then I know the questions
everything is simple so it seems,
but I feel so very tiny in the midst of daily life
as I struggle with my hopes and fears and dreams…
