Thank you, Ali Quadir. For your post on trees. I have a personal relationship with a old Maple tree that looks a little like this. click here, http://images-cdn01.associatedcontent.co...154845.jpg
Maples give some much of themselves to all.

It's a beauty. It's one of the trees I'd recognize as indeed spreading around a lot of energy. I have this idea and maybe you can confirm or deny this that trees with this type of "broken" bark spread more ambient energy than trees with "smooth" bark...

Leaves are also much more sociable than pines who just tend to stand around in groups trying to ignore the rest of the world

(If outsiders hear us talk I'd have to kiss my future career as president of the world goodbye)

I actually followed a tree talking workshop... A friend of mine came up with it as something funny to do. I had not taken it very serious up until then.

To me talking to trees was like talking to chickens. Sure they're alive and aware but does that make them conversationalists? I expected the conversations to get bogged down. And I was worried not seeing the difference between being attentively listened to or politely ignored. Also they're very territorial. You can't just invite them over for coffee.. I think in general that if they've got their roots somewhere they just tend to stay there.

We decided to roll with it anyway and it was great fun. At one point me and a fellow student were walking up to a small group of three pines who had an isolated island in a sea of grass for just the three of them. As instructed we tried to sense the trees energy to see if we were welcome. The unexpected happened, we were not! So we were just walking around confused. Looking at each other with a "What on earth just happened?" look in our faces.

The two ladies giving the course later admitted they were rolling on the grass laughing. They say they had checked the day before with the trees if they would participate. All trees would, except for these three. They decided not to tell us but to just see if people would pick it up. And when we were walking there, from a distance we acted as if we just bumped into an invisible wall and then clearly became terribly confused and directionless.

Maybe they had a bad experience with humans. Maybe they just liked to stick to themselves.

I'd honestly never been told off by a tree before... There is a first time for everything.

Amazing

I'm really suprised at the number of people who can speak to trees, or have tried. I really thought it was a silly thing to mention on the forum, I guess not
