In July while visiting family in Connecticut, I awoke to the sound of rain sifting gently through the surrounding forest.  Much of the forest has regenerated in New England, and although heavily populated with millions of people, trees are everywhere, except in parts of some cities. 

As I lay there hearing the soft rain, I felt the forest talking, sharing their unity with all that is.  I have long been fascinated by the notion of a collective energy field for humanity but never considered a collective energy field for nature.  As I listened to the trees, I received the impression that where ever contiguous forest exists with trees joined at their roots, a unified energy field exists. 

It is natures job to balance the planet and maintain the unity of all that is. As humans we have been ignorant of the damage we do to nature.  This was not always so and some indigenous peoples still know how to interact with nature without upsetting the delicate balance of all  that is.

It is time for us to consider a new way of being and to learn to collaborate with nature to maintain the  balance. I recommend Machelle Wright's books on this subject. The connected energy of the trees and their ability to communicate is part of a new way for us to see the world. If you have the opportunity to be in a forest, please sit quietly and attune yourself to the magic of the trees talking with every rustle of a leaf.
