Sounds nuts I suppose. But maybe I'm not the only one to have this experience. We planted 15 samplings (45 to go for this year!) yesterday and it was really amazing how it shifts perspective.
We did it as a family. Some of us prayed and "talked" to the plants or the ground -- sounds funny I suppose, but it was really interesting to hear our different instincts led us to connect with nature and ultimately our Creator.
A little reminder for me I wanted to share with you that we are all part of something much larger than is usually discussed.
Interesting. As an atheist, I don't have that experience when planting trees and such. I have planted a number of them on our two acre property over the years.
Thanks for sharing.
thank you for your willingness to share your position. I was an agnostic for years (defined as I don't know what God is, but he probably is something) and after exploring quantum physics, energy and that sort of thing, my mind was changed.
You might appreciate the guy who experimented on trees with a lie detector. He found that essentially they have an energetic response to our intentions. i think his last name was baxter or bartholemew.... something like that.
trees are cool by any measure :)
