Happy Easter!
What did you do? I had my family over to my new apartment, grubbed a bit with them(I had my own food) and chilled with my brother afterwards for a while. Then when I woke up this morning, read some out of an old Bible that I bought at a second hand store and got some information to chew on.
In other news, I’ve been bad. I’ve been tree stealer. But I remind you, one should do what is right and not what is legal. I’ve been very in love with trees for a good long time now, sometimes I gasp when I see them. What I’ve been doing is ordering tree seeds online for trees that can grow indoors-mainly different ficuses and growing them to my heart’s content, but I’ve always wanted some less normal kinds of trees to have at home like oaks and maples and forest trees like that. Problem is that 1. I never had a balcony and 2. I didn’t know how to grow those kinds from seed. Funny I refer to them as forest trees-if I went to India, the ficus is the forest tree, but you get the drift.
So anyway, I said to myself ‘now wait a second, I know for a fact that people are paying a lot of unnecessary money to buy trees have landscapers bring them in and plant them in their backyard. I know this because probably 9 out of 10 or so trees in the forest die because they grow too close to one another.’ So with that, BAM "I’m gonna save some trees and get some for my balcony at the same time"…into the park/forest I went with two plastic bags and my gloves on. First I found a small maple ’grove,’ we’ll call it, with ten billion frickin maple trees all growing within inches of eachother. Dug up a sapling and told it that I loved it. Took some soil, carefully mashed and wrapped it, along with some Maple scree, around the roots and went on my way.
I didn’t really care if people were watching, to be honest, as I consider what I am doing to be a good thing. We are the care takers, the stewards of the earth(you can tell where my influence is coming from this morning), we are to ACT upon the Earth as best we can, not ignore the Earth and let it sit there doing as it did before we came along-it is partly for us as well, we too are animals and souls. So I got me some oaks too. These grew very close to one another as well, although there were less of them in general, as compared to the maples, and I questioned whether it was a good idea-but I came to the conclusion that it was, given how big they were going to get and how many were in such a small area. Although, I will duly admit that there is a selfish desire that must be railed against when doing this. I have given in at least one time and I am not so willing to do it again because of the shame I feel. I also admit that I am an amateur here and I could definitely be mistaken in my estimations, as I am only going by what I see. But nonethess less: the forest is number one. My balcony is number 10 million, this must be kept in mind. The growth of the forest comes first and I’ll do my best to make that happen-and part of making that happen is actually DOING…whether it’s right or wrong, ACTING, but with the right thought in mind, so as to come to what is ultimately right. Having said that, I think I did pretty good anyway, this first time.
I knew before, but now I am keenly aware of just how many saplings we are trampling when we walk in the forest. Look down! They are often masked by leaves and look just like little sticks sticking up out of the ground-especially when they don’t have leaves yet. Adult trees cast hundreds of thousands of seeds and lots of them take. Tons of them take. We’ve got to do as the natives Americans did and walk and hunt and gather with consciouness. I have made a pact with myself to get better, it would be good if you did too. Use the rocks, use the logs, be like the elves and the nymphs, light footed and bounding, floating almost. Not the trolls and the giants whom stomp and trample and crush.
Anyway, I’m moving closer and closer to being vegan or vegetarian. I’ve still got tons of experimenting to do, but I’m noticing a lot of detoxing going on on these days when I don’t eat meat. That’s usually a pretty strong signal. Fits of sneezing and spitting out a bit as well-kind of like a mini version of what happened when I first switched over to raw. We’ll see what happens, I’m bent on doing what’s right for me in this regard. Hope you’re well and have had a nice long weekend. I’m going to run an obstacle course today.
