Message of the Trees

ALOHA !

These trees carry on a decades-long conversation

" A sure cure for seasickness

is to sit under a tree.  "

Spike Milligan

Wood is as fluid as a dancer,

and just as expressive

if you have eyes & heart to see

" A fool sees not the same tree

that a wise man sees.  "

William Blake

Ah, a message of well-being! 

" A tree against the sky 

possesses the same interest,

the same character,

the same expression 

as the figure of a human. "

Georges Rouault  

It's all going to be "OK"

All things share the same breath

- the beast, the tree, the man-

the air shares its spirit

with all the life it supports.  "

Chief Seattle

The Hawaiians believed the same

so they shared their breath

their "HA"

in the ALOHA

and in the HONI greeting;

"The honi is a Polynesian greeting

in which two people greet each other 

by pressing noses and inhaling at the same time.

This is a very honorific as this represents the exchange of ha

--the breath of life--

and mana: 

spiritual power between two people. "
