The
speaker just mentioned that she's currently reading a book about the life of a
tree. The tree also have feelings, they communicate.
Before
she ended the whole day talk with us, she use this illustration on the effects
of words to a tree and how much more to a person.
There's one place somewhere who never cut trees. If they
need to, the people would gather around, will encircle the tree and will curse
the tree "you're no good!", "you're ugly!"
"unworthy!", "you better die!".
The following days the tree would be like this.
It's
sad,,that's the effect of words to any living creature I guess.
Make
or break.
The
Lord, also sometime curse a fig tree for not bearing fruits, but leaves only,
that it would be much better if it just die. True enough, the fig tree died.
(Matt. 21:19-20)
I
was saddened for the trees.
Then
I recall 8 mos. ago I have a picture taken hugging a tree!
I
just asked my friend to just take me a picture. I can't recall the
reason behind "hugging trees" I just read long time ago that there's
effect. I can't just really recall what it is (forgetful me). My obedient dear
friend just ride with my craziness. She took picture, several pictures of me
hugging the tree.
Also,
what's with the tree house?
My
second time to stay in a tree house..
2009
December. I stayed here. First time. Alone.
... but
this time with a friend.
2016
Jan.
Are
they the same?
the
2009 and 2016?
Never
I thought nor considered that my friend (same friend who took picture of me
hugging tree) has fear of heights and stairs! Only dawned in me when we get to
the place and she saw the tree house where we will be staying and she
commented.
I
could have book other accommodation? I just really forgot to consider. But
proud of my friend! She survived the countless ups and down! (no choice? She
have to?)
Though
my second time, not exempted the fear when the house swayed. Earthquake we
thought. No,, it's the natural tendency because we are in the "tree
house". The strong wind causes the tree house to sway (funny us!).
Being
on top, is where the strongest sway happens. Would anyone feel the sway when in
bottom? The tree house just followed the wind, swayed, bend and returned to its
state. My friend and I should had the assurance that the stronghold of the
house is in its roots. Deep, rooted for years in the ground. But my friend and
I ran down and out of the tree house late we realized that it's natural.
Anybody's tendency I guess when we don’t' really understand the reason, we
already have our own and immediate interpretation and of course, when safety
and protection is at stake. Run, get down when strong wind
comes instead of just stay and just sway with the wind and believe
that the deep roots will stand the wind. This lesson have to learn.
My
tree hugging, with unknown reason at all happened January 28.
Two
days after, my father died. The process is difficult. Not his lost, but by
facing the world that my "adoptive father" died. I am not his child!
I
could just stay with what people know (the surface) about me. Life would be
simple.
But
for sure, many questions will be raised. Why I am not living and didn’t grow
with them, why I don’t look like my mother, my father, my 9 siblings. though I
already have my "templated" answers since I was a child on all of
those why's, but I am already tired of not telling truth. It's so tiring.
I
resolved to myself to speak the truth. It happened. Not my fault being adopted.
Also, this becomes my opportunity to thank Tatay for bringing me to his family.
My life could be different if not because of him. I could not be where I am
right now and I could not have my friends now whom so dear to me. Things could
be different so thanks to him. Thanks to God.
here
with sibling #3, telling "my story" and paying tribute to Tatay for
bringing me to his family.
But,
that's when I thought it's over, I'm over.
Not
until my birth month (July), not my fabricated birth month (December) came.
Everything
surfaced! That's it! Many things surfaced.
Since
it surfaced, I have to deal on it. One by one, one at a time, layer by layer.
So
here! Healing.
Have
to be in the process of healing so I could also help others, primarily adoptees
like me be healed. It takes one to know one.
What's
again with hugging a tree?
Now,
after 8 mos. only I searched for it's reason and found this.
"Being
a tree-hugger: When you hug a tree, you become amalgamated and be one with the
tree. This personal linkage will allow the energy shift between you and the
tree. The tree absorbed the negative energy that you have, will balance it and
turn it into a positive one. Try to hug a tree longer with your eyes close.
Take a deep breath,meditate and gently feel the energy as it flows through in
and out of your body. Keep hugging until you feel the total transmission
of positive energies and you felt re-charged, renewed and reborn. this is the healing process we can benefited from the
trees. What are you waiting for? start to stretch out those
arms and be a tree-hugger!"
(in
bold statement is mine)
Healing.
Right
in time where I am.
The
Lord just brought in my remembrance that picture. Now with deeper meaning and
sense.
I
can't wait for this vacation so I could hug all this trees.
Here
where God manifest His presence, greatness and love. Through His creation. The
Lord in all His wisdom.
Now
reading this --
Lord,
Heal My Hurts,
A
Devotional Study on God's Care and Deliverance
by
Kay Arthur
I'll
get by.
My
Lord and My God, the One and Only source of my healing.
My
Jehovah-rapha, my Lord God who heals.
