Welcome to Transcendental Forests. I am planting POETREE.
Our mission is to take you on a journey of love, introspection, meditation, peace and tranquillity, all the while offering you that which has always transcended time and space: poetry.
All done with love and appreciation for Nature. ALL nature.
One Tree a Day
Keeps the Heat Away
One Poem a Day:
The Birthstone of May
Started the 11th of May.
Enjoy! :)
It’s Day Twenty-one.
The last day of May.
What more is there to say?
There was a time when we used to read the Stars and the Moon…when we looked at the Skies and the Clouds for guidance… when we fed on Nature’s gifts alone… when we listened to our own bodies and observed the laws of nature hidden inside… when everything was learned intuitively, through our senses… and everything was done in harmony with nature…
And then something went terribly wrong. We invented notions of time, money, productivity, work and success. We began to unlearn the ways of nature and we started exploiting it instead.
Have we really forgotten who we are, where we come from, and what we’re made of?
Perhaps it’s not too late to remind ourselves of how intimately and profoundly connected we are to everything that surrounds us.
So we can re-awaken to the truth of our ONENESS with NATURE. And with THE UNIVERSE.
I will leave you with a beautiful and powerful poem, The Mushroom Hunters by Neil Gaiman, read by Amanda Palmer:
