moss and lichen growing on the trunk of a snow gum tree in Tasmania's alpine country

Mosses and lichens live as one on the bark of this snow gum tree in Mt Field National Park, Tasmania.

27th January, 2010

I stood beneath the tree, doing the things, chanting the mantras, asking that all trees may be loved, respected, and protected as she is. And I felt her love, respect, and protection over me, as she wished the same in return. She sent me the same wish in an energy that felt protective. That protective energy derives from love.

I pour the water in a circle around the flame.
