I awoke filled with love.

The soil is full of life. Here we are in cool temperate rainforest in Tasmania's  takayna/Tarkine, loved, but unprotected and vulnerable to mining, forestry, roading.

I awoke filled with love. My mind only knew that form of being.

I went to the tree a little late – that is, it was light already, but soft, grey, dripping, rain of course.

The ground was very cold, biting, but so strong, and rich, and alive. My feet joined it, becoming part of the soil’s life, just another biota, another bit of matter, with water flowing inside, and air inside that. Elemental connection.

I took deepak, incense, water. I poured, I chanted, and I placed. I felt acceptance from the tree. I felt acknowledgement and acceptance, very quiet, peaceful, and perfect. But not more than that, as she is working, and the devas (shining ones, nature spirits) have gone, it being daytime.
